Re: Busting your friends?
[ QUOTE ]
You guys are friends, and both poker players. You've never taken each others' money before? [/ QUOTE ] Good friends... we've taken thousands off eachother in mixed games and/or heads up matches... We usually stay out of eachothers way when we are at a table of donks.

Re: Busting your friends?
[ QUOTE ]
is there something wrong with his money? does it not spend as easily as other money? I would bust family, friends, dead relatives, girlfriends whoever. If i'm playing poker i'm playing to win [/ QUOTE ] The thing is... when we play in Vegas it is more of a social event. Drink bear, watch NE loose to San Diego, et. al. If we play heads up we make a lot of move against eachother and it looks odd to the table... usually gives the other players a bad vibe and scares off the Donkeys. He didn't fold his KK face up... he just cursed his bad luck with AK and we moved on. P.S. I'm so sick of the "i'd bust my grandmother line" If you really would bust your grandmother in a game of poker either A) she better be super wealthly and/or B) your parents did a great job raising you.

Re: Busting your friends?
When you're are in a game you have to be able to bust anyone. I don't care if your girlfriend is Pamela Anderson. If you want to play poker, you have to be able to bust anyone at the table without feeling bad for them.

However, I do think two strong players can ruin a good passive table by playing too strong against eachother. Weaker players can be scared off by too much aggression. Also, I believe you accelerate the learning curve of weak passives this way.
