The following occured last week when in Vegas.
I had a friend at the table, the rest were strangers. In a hand I was dealt KJ, decided to play it and the flop come JJ7. Great hand! My friend is also in the hand. I speak first and check/call his bet, we are heads up after the flop. The turn and river is blank and I clean him up for all his chips (this was a cash game).
After the hand he turns to me and says something like "Was that really nescesarry? You are not supposed to take MY money, you could have checked the turn and river".
I was really surprised at that attitude, its the first time I play with him and when I play I dont really go easy on my friends if I have a great hand, I mean I hope he does well but I play to get the max $ from my hands and dont really care who the opponent is. I dont think any other friends I play with would expect this. The endgame if this was that we agreed to not sit at the same table again which was fine by both of us.
So do you usually "go easy" on friends if you are two at the table with a bunch of strangers?
By the way, he played that hand poorly, after check calling I lead out on the turn and River and he should have figured I had the jack and folded, I think he only had a middle pair or something.
