THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FRIENDS OR FAMILY AT THE POKER TABLE!!!
Yes, it is so important to remember that I shouted in bold.  I took my own mother off the cash game at the casino.  I don't feel bad about it one bit.  I warned her to sit at another table and she choose to sit at mine.  She was warned.  Sound cold?  Too bad.  This is money, it's a business and should be treated as such.

Now with that said.  I have soft played my friends and relatives while hu.  From time to time I don't mind it but the vast majority of the time, I will take their money in a heartbeat and I expect they will do the same to me.  I despise sitting at a table with friends or family, absolutely despise it.  I warn everyone up front and if they still choose to sit with me, so be it, they've been warned.

It seems to me that your friend was willing to take your money as well seeing as he kept calling you.  After you bet he should have folded, to me, hu and you bet into him is a strong signal that says "I have you, fold", he chose to not listen so be it.  I don't agree at all with the whole dumping him as a friend thing, I look at it more like lessoned learned, for the both of you.  Quite frankly, imo, if he isn't used to playing like you suggested, then you should have warned him before you both sat at the table together.  So lesson learned for the both you.

*EDIT: I forgot to mention the time to time part I have soft played, it was during home games, never ever at the casino or other like avenue.
