Well, if it is a true friendship, money takes a back seat, I think love and friendship are above money, money is secondary to me, even if it is necessary.

Hi, it depends on what friends and for what money)
In general, this is a good hobby.🙂
 
Oh yes of course. I used to play all kinds of card games with friends for money.
I would rather one of my friends win my money instead of a total stranger.
Yes its cool to play with friends...BRING IT ON BITCH ! lol thats what we would tell each other...so funny😀😛

As long as everyone just puts money at stake that doesn't hurt when it's lost
there shouldn't be a problem. And if you knnow the stakes are too high for that
you would deny the offer to play against someone who is your friend...

kramer. That is exactly what I would have said.

I'm new in the place I live now. [7 years for me. I play in an invitation only group of about 25 that has been playing together in the same town for 20-30 years.]

Just one [very friendly] guy makes me uncomfortable because he is playing beyond his assets. I always feel that his losses are really a strain on his budget. If he were a 25-year friend of mine, I'd suggest that he not to play, but I'd be happy to have him deal so he could be with us and pick up a few bux for sure.

Another case that happened about last June is that a well-employed table friend took a big pandemic related job loss. I called the poker host and told him that I'd donate anonymously all my take for the last year to help him back on his feet.

The next week he came into the game with the great news that he had found himself a similar job in the same field. He didn't need any of the money, but that's how close we are.

Poker + friends? Works well for me.
 
I thinks......

I think so, especially when they keep borrowing me. if the person doesn’t know how to control hers who say they have to pay people

I think it's wrong to play with friends for money. We used to play with wrappers. But with friends against someone at the same table, it's a different conversation.

Playing poker with candy wrappers-is like having sex in a condom, the feeling is not the same.😀 I play with friends for not big money, and this does not affect our friendship in any way.
 
play with friend for real money

I think that playing with money with friends is not serious, only if we agree that it is to spend a pleasant time in a group and not to obtain a substantial profit ... they simply agree on a decent amount to enjoy and do something different
 
Anything, not just poker, for enough money can easily ruin friendships. I would imagine that the number of friendships ruined by joining in a business partnership over human history would be uncountable.
 
For smaller amounts, sure, but anything else, sooner or later, will affect relationships negatively.

Hell, my brother hasn't spoken to me for years over a dispute we had while playing Fortnite with no money involved. His choice. I can imagine how bad it can get while playing poker. It would be like going on tilt to the nth degree.
 
Unfortunately, money issues often destroy friendships and family relationships. In order to maintain a good relationship, I would not deal with serious money issues with friends and relatives
 
It depends whether they are a competetive person or not. Some people can't handle when they lose so that would definitely ruin a friendship.
 
It depends a lot on each person's personality, I wanted to meet people who wanted to play with me. It would be fun.... but I wouldn't let it affect the friendship, it would be more fun. But I believe that everything that involves money messes with people's egos.
 
yes it does !!! does why I never play for money with my friends ..it is 100% that is going to happend
 
Has not affected my friendships. As long as all the parties are not stressing out about the money on the table - should be good fun.
 
If you play for money that you don’t mind losing, then it shouldn’t affect friendship in any way
 
"it's just business"))) in business no friendships in big tourneys u must show ur best play and knockout ur opponents and very often with big agression
i think its cant crash ur friendship bcs after tourney u can be good friend / flies separately - cutlets separately
but u always can play for fun with friends at home and after win or loose spend winning money together)
 
No poker for money should not ruin friendship. It would all be fun and joy playing poker.
 
Just don't play poker with your friends if you understand that the poker can ruin your friendship. I think so.
