,You at a final table with your best friend and he needs more than you prize, you would let him win, I certainly would not, because whoever gets in the rain will get wet.

If I was at the final two with my best friend and he needed the first place money, I would give it to him. I would however play it out legit and give him the difference. I want that trophy!

maybe it's just me being competitive but i'd play the game seriously because i want to win. i'd then lend the friend the money he needs and assume i'll never get it back.

Yeah, I'll definitely let him win if he needs it the longest. Relationships come first.

For me, there are no friends at the table, there are only opponents.

Poker is no place for friendship. Make friends before or after poker, but not during the game.

As everyone, play for the win, take the title, then offer financial support!

Hello.
In fact, I have no way to play with my friends. But in my opinion, poker is a competition, and no matter who your opponent is.

Letting someone win(cause allegedly (s)he needs win more) is loser talk :rolleyes:
That's why it's understandable not to do it even against your relatives etc :)

I find it easier to annihilate friends over enemies.

They'll be fine with it since dinner and drinks are on me.

And I get to rub it in until my next win.

as a rule, i try not to mix friendship with finances.

therefore before the start of tournament i would have previously discussed with a friend that everyone plays for himself.

I do not play poker with my friends. But in any case, I am always set to win, no matter who my opponent is.

On the table everybody should play for win no matter if they are friends or not. I frequently play with friends and it is never a problem.

My thoughts exactly. I'd play to win the trophy and just gave them the money if they were a friend.

I agree with the above. There's no room for doubt at the table. All the questions you need to solve after.
If indeed each can be and simply help financially, not expense atmosphere of the game

If a friend needs money, then it is better to discuss this moment with him in advance. Tell him that we will play fair, but if I win, I will return the difference to him.

everything is very individual and a lot depends on what, I often heard from poker pros at the table even grandmothers will beat,
