ethics of playing with friends online

Would he owe you money if he won the hand?

yeah, you guys are all pretty much saying the same thing i was thinking here. im giving him his money back when i see him and telling him if he expects a refund, dont expect me to play with him anymore, it was a net won of i think $7-8 from him.

If 7 or 8 bucks is that big of a deal to him, first tell him to get a job, then go get a new friend.

I'd pay him $100 to never have to see or hear from him again.

Little bit of a hijack, but a question toward the guy who 4 tables and has played 2000+ hands with the same guy.

Doesn't the poker site notice that? I mean, what would keep me and my buddy from doing that and chatting over AIM about our cards and isolating players? I'm obviously not accusing you, you're just having fun with your friend, but I'm sure people do exactly what you described but are doing it to cheat. Have you ever gotten an email about you playing with the same person all the time?

I've probably played almost 3k hands or so with my friend, and I've never had a problem. We're not colluding, and we're generally in hands together very infrequently. He'll tell me his hole cards when I'm not playing vs him and vice versa (but one of us is in the hand). The thing is that I've played almost 2k hands with a LOT of TAGs, so he's not particularly different. I chat with him on AIM at the time, but in general our gameplay doesn't change significantly other than comments about each other's play.

I guess I tried to stay out of pots with him when it was convenient to do it... I get a good hand though and I don't care if it's my mom across from me.

Spoken like a true poker player. Stay out of pots if it's convenient (i.e. I gots crap) and God have mercy cause I ain't if I got the cards.

So, you are going to let him whine, get "his" money back, and then tell him if he expects any more gifts not to expect you to play with him anymore?

Looks like a win for him. He gets money back and 1 less shark to skin him later.

People like your "friend" just burn my tail.

Your friend is a jerk. I avoid playing on the same table as my friends because I do tend to not go after them but they would never be upset if I beat them. Party does not allow me to play on the same table with a person I referred to the site. I actually think this is a good idea to avoid collusion.

I think you should make a really tacky necklace out of the money you won from your "friend" and wear it everytime you expect to see him.
When he asks what it is, Tell him it's "his" money.

Personally, $15 is worth more than a tool like that.

I have a good friend, which I treasure. Once he gets drunk, he wants to play poker. One day he kept on nagging me to play heads-up with him. I finally gave in, took him for $200, let him get off for free and told him never to ask me to play with him again. It worked for us.

So if you value your friend more than the money you won, that might be a solution.
