I think you're slightly missing the point... the thing is there are no friends at the table. You are all competing for each others money... if you win it, you arent going to give it back are you? If so why are you playing in the first place? But if not, then it just shows on the table there are no friends. TP is a nice guy, he set up the tournament on stars for us...when I won did I
I played in the $10 TPF tourny last month. In that tourny, I don't know anyone, so they wouldnt fall into the 'friend friends' catagory you described, theyd fall into something similiar to your 'poker league friend' catagory
Don't wanna burst the bubble, but I check raised, BLUFFED and although I showed ALOT more cards than i usually do (bc it was a fun tournament) i still didnt show bluffs and mucked many hands as well... so if everyone here hates me now sorry
TP is a nice guy, he set up the tournament on stars for us...when I won did I transfer him his $10 dollars back NO...not cuz I dont like the guy, but Im playing against him in this tournament, thus Im trying to knock him out (effectively losing his 10 dollars)
Now if me and him were to enter a big MTT lets say and happened to be at the same table, itd be a little different. Id try and avoid him as much as possible, Id never bluff him, and if I reraised him preflop itd mean QQ KK AA (unless we were at a final table or something) This isnt saying Id roll over to him, or not play my hands, but Id try not to butt heads....thats simply bc here Im not playing against him,. im hoping both of us get to the final table... then we can go to war
PS :tell ur friend to suck it up, you had him the whole way, if not you outplayed him, buy him a box of tissues nd tell him to pick a new hobby if he's this sensitive
