In college I had 2 groups of friends.  The ones I hung out with and the ones I played poker with.  I really liked that arrangment because between poker players IMO there is almost another set of rules and you dont have to feel bad for taking money.  It more honest and tough relationship.  If I win $100 off of a poker buddy cause I took a chance so be it and vs versa, but if it is my personal friend I feel bad because I know what this means to him ect.  
 
If you do play with non-poker friends it is important that you keep the game civil and friendly.  Also stakes should be low enough so that no hurt if you win or loose but high enough to play serious.  Also, if I had a friend who played in a friendly game by raising  58s I would not play with him or I would not be his personal friend and keep only as poker friend (you dont play friendly games that way).  I do currently play with my brother and some friends and we play low stakes $10 and just have fun.  Poker with friends that is what it should be about, not making $.
 
My advise is not to play with them again or if you do, demand that stakes are lower and/or change to limit if they are your friends outside of poker.  A good way of doing this too is to change to tourny so if you bust out with 58s you are done for the night.  
 
If these friends are only really your poker buddies then play poker and dont feel bad taking their money.
