Friends at a poker table
Is there such a thing?
It's more a couple of things that happened to me live that made me question it. I folded AK cos I didn't want to flip stacks with my mate at a recent cash game. He then called a huge raise I made with 67 next hand and shoved on a 554 flop when I had AK. I couldn't call. He then shoved 44 into the loosest player on the table and lost all his money. And I felt soooo sad. More so because there was easy money to be made.
At my local game I've realised that many players are "halfers". Which makes you wonder at times. I've never done it. I walk this rock, I know not why, but I know I walk it alone. I've loads of friends whom I'd kill or die for. But ultimately I'm alone. And never more so than at a poker table. I'm a team 51 member and proud of it but I wouldn't hesitate to stack a team member for personal glory. That's the way I roll. But that's MTTs.
Am I just a big soft daftie? I'm starting to get ruthless and it's against my better judgement. Sigh.

Only recently realised I was one of the few that didn't do it. And I never will. I know pros do it to spread the variance but this isn't big money. I'm questioning many folds now. Seems suspicious to me.
No chance.
