Yeah, I don't like playing against opponents who are friends either, but it helps that I always have the deal with friends that after the game I'll tell them everything I had and what I was thinking and all that. W.D. and I have done this quite a bit and it has worked for us. Being “friendly” in my mind isn't the same as being friends (hence my note about the single-serving friend). Even if it is two or three servings, that's not what I'm talking about.
Meanwhile, I'm curious about the NL games at Foxwoods. I took a mini-vacation there recently and was surprised that the level of play in the $2/$5 was quite good and they weren't easily beatable games (compared to the NYC games and online games). Is that typical or are weeknights just not good?
