Topic: LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK - POKER FRIENDS ETIQUETTE Forum: Card Chat

billscafan,

When the hubby and I have some extra money to go play live, I don't mind playing on the same table with him. BUT and this is a BIG BUT(not my butt) I don't want him sitting near me at the same table. I just don't want anyone saying that we may be colluding. I don't back down from a hand with him if I think I have the nuts. Yeah it's going into the same pocket and the end of the run but I like to know if I won my hand fair and square.

If you play often at the same table I would be up front with the guy and lay down some rules when you two go out like this. As everyone stated above, There are no friends in the game of poker. Off the table all day long you can be friends. My suggestion would be to state that you are going to play your best and you wouldn't expect any less from him. If you two come head to head, play the hand like you would any other hand/person. I agree also with what was stated above about if you are going to a casino together and playing on the same table often and check each other down every time you go head to head, other players, dealers and the maybe even the card room manager will end up seeing this, figure you two are in collusion and will ask you to leave. Don't doubt that the next time if you continue to do this you may be banned from playing from this casino and maybe others. I know this guy is your friend and you have been playing probably alot longer than I have but if your "friend" was a true friend he would understand that your going to play your best no matter who you are in the hand with.

That's my 2 cents for what it's worth.

Good luck with this because it sounds like your gonna need it.
