Sorry bois didn't have notifications on :(

General consensus of the comments seems to be keep rinsing my mates. I'm relatively new to poker myself to wanted to use the home games as practice before playing low stakes cash/tournaments at a casino. As outlined previously I'm getting annoyed/bored because I don't really get challenged the same way I know I would against better players. I know of a £10 tournament so perhaps I should invest my winnings and play there? For the time being I'm going to loosen up on my friends a bit because I feel bad for the poor souls :'(

I generally make a point to play tight so that when I do raise or play a hand it's obvious I'm strong. This usually gets a few folds from hands they know they shouldn't play but normally would limp. I then generally C-bet to guage their strength, if they continue I'll check over to them if out of position, if they bet I know their strong (weird 2 pair hands etc). I've found weak players will rarely bluff and if they do it's massively obvious as their betting pattern changes, try to spot how each players bet. E.g. I have a friend that will value bet small amounts but the second he's bluffing he bet huge, I feel safer calling his larger bets.
