I've played in some crazy games where stuff like this happens a lot. It's wierd because, as the rotating cast of characters is usually the same, they play like home games. With the straddles and re-straddles the game always gets nuts and a few $K is dropped quick and easy.

So the friendly stuff makes no sense. In fact, it hurts you sometimes when you make a big hand and feel like you kind of owe a guy one or something from another hand where he showed you his hand.

This isn't one of those spots. You're 3 handed in Vegas. He raised from his SB pf and 3 bet the flop. I'd call. When the turn comes off he's going to look at you sideways and you go AI. I'd show my hand after he acts.

When the dust settles after the hand I'd respectfully outline the action and say that, although the friendliness of the game is great, I'm here to play poker. It's 3 handed. Everyone bet their cards. No hard feelings.
