On being a "poker snob"

[PaulSF415]

Not playing poker with your friends doesn't mean you can't spend time hanging out with them. Just explain to dude that you play so much poker during the week that in your off time the last thing you want to see is a poker table. This way you don't play in the home game and you're not alienating your friends. When they're up to it you can always go to a ballgame or do whatever.
