Friendships at the Poker Tables

[rodrigo1972]

I have friends that plays poker but when I see them at the tables they are not my friends

 

[Moe DeLawn]

I have a lot of poker friends. When we meet at the same cash or tournament table we give no quarter and none is expected. When we meet up after a tournament we will have some banter about how we played, but it's all good natured.

Yes friendship is friendship, but poker is a game of money in which you need to win and win even friends, and there should be no offense between friends, when a friend wins or I win from him, then this is a great game, sometimes I have games that friend wins and wins my money --- and then the next day I win money from him!

In our home game, we have, on very few occasions, had people get upset with decisions or actions of others. BUT, those times are quickly put behind us. We realize that the stakes are small, and that there is no other option in town.
