Message: [QUOTE="Phoenix Wright, post: 5670972, member: 419963"] Yes, this is how it is for many friends. It depends on the "friend" and the atmosphere/personalities. Poker is clearly an emotional game with many ups and downs (as anyone who has played for any decent length of time can attest) and some people can't handle the variance as well as others (no one said it was easy of course - exponentially harder at higher stakes). If your friend is the kind of player to redirect their anger at others, or the kind of person to get too heated in the moment: then perhaps it is best to not play poker with them. However, there are many friends who love playing (win or lose) and the game doesn't impact the friendship. I think most friends won't be broken up by a card game, but it really depends on the person - plus the friendlier the atmosphere, then the better chance they will all enjoy themselves and keep coming back.
