Message: [QUOTE="doops, post: 1304483, member: 59356"] I play often with online friends, and have played in casinos with friends also. We have no issue with taking each other out, at any time, ever. We are even nice about it, no matter which side of the beat we are on. As to you busting your friend... he busted himself. He did not respect your bets, he did not play rationally (i.e., a reraise early on might have clarified to him where he stood, or a fold early on since he did not have enough to take you on), and he screwed himself over. He played stupidly, and you were actually pretty straightforward to keep betting and letting him know you were strong. You did not play sneaky (which is, of course, perfectly acceptable.) He's playing a competitive game, and not for a minute should he be thinking you are going to play poorly. What, you are supposed to go easy on him, like he is a little kid or something? Do NOT think you did this to him. He did it to himself. [/QUOTE]
