Poker is everywhere! casinos, basements, garages, online, and church and community fundraisers. So who and where would you rather play?
I have a good time in our friday night games with friends. online poker is a good way to pass some time. casinos are a great place to go and take others money and not feel guilty about it. I think I prefer the weekend games and the occasional tournaments over all though.

In a private game I would prefer to play with friends. With strangers, you can never be sure what your're walking into.

In a casino, I'd rather play with strangers. It doesn't make sense to me to travel to a casino, play with my friends, and pay the rake and gas to do it. I see people do it all the time and it leaves me confused. :confused:

Actually, it doesn't really matter to me. I like playing with friends because it adds a social aspect to the game (not to mention you get to know how they play after a while) but I don't mind playing with strangers either. I'll play with anyone who'll lay down a buy-in.

I would rather play with strangers because I might make friends mad if I put them out or bad beat. I've been on CC from the begining of the year and played many games and feel bad when I put someone out. because I'm a new player, more experienced players take advantage of my tight play. I'm learing to loossen up but its hard. online is fun , I can play a lot of players for low buy-in.

id much rather play against strangers, or if I was playing against freinds they would need to be friends that have money lol. My friends currently are kind of stingy and dont really gamble like me, they will do $10 for a home game but thats our biggest one lol.
