If that 'friend' is one of the regulars you play against every Thursday night, and is in fact the HOST of the damn league.....YOU BETTER!!
Seriously, though, it would depend on your definition of a friend. If you like this person OUTSIDE of the game, and if this is fairly new player still trying to learn (and honestly, aren't we all STILL trying??), then I would probably tell them...AFTER I beat them!!

Well any one that has me over to their house for BBQ and/or Beer is some one I would consider a friend and I would tell them.
I would tell a friend about his tell for sure. Â Especially if he is new to the game.
I would tell him immediately and at a full table if at all possible. Â It would be a great opportunity to increase your intimidation factor over the other players at the table! Â Of course if the tell resembles a flashing neon sign that everyone can see than spotting it will not earn you any respect.
Friendly, social games with small buy-ins should be kept as fun and light as possible. Â You want people to come back don't you.
If there is big money on the table. Â Buyer beware!

Dude that bubble jacket is great! Â You should market that to strippers!!
Stupidity and ignorance are not one in the same. Helping someone learn the game when they are a total rook (and your friend) is nothing to be ashamed of.
Where would Mike be if Knish never took him under his wing? "I was giving you a living, Mike, showing you the playbook I put together off my own beats...."
As an aside, if my friend had way more money than me. I would probably take every cent that I could from him.
Even the greenest of rooks should know that allowing anyone to see your hole cards is a mistake. If they can't grasp that concept, may I suggest sticking to checkers?

You can PM my tell now.
