Do you say hello to your rivals when you sit at the table? What is your attitude towards the rivals? Like to enemies or as friends or is it neutral?

P.S. What is your attitude to them when they take you everything?

I do not care who to play with, the process of the game is important to me.

I try not to put my self in such positions and if I have no choice than I just treat them just like I would any other opponent! Good thing is if they are friends/rivals/enemies or whatever you wanna call them you have the upper hand as you know their game style and therefore you can become unpredictable and get a major advantage upon them.

Basically neutral, but if the player begins to deliberately pull the time, then there is disrespect to the person.

On the opponents, I look positively, if the player often goes ALL, then I want to catch him and punish him!

I wouldn't want to give them a read on me. If I was angry for some reason with someone I would try not to show it.

Most of the competitors itself. But there are some as enemies )))))))) and some friends .It all depends on the player's actions at the table for him to judge who is who .
But in freerolls all buddies this game is for souls and experience

Basically a "whats up" and "gl".
My rival is only my opponent, I don't want bad things for him. What I want is outplay him.

I'm friendly to everyone, I like being nice, sometimes I show my cards if they took a lot of time thinking and fold their hand, I do that also to create a image in their head do I can act differently

Hmmm I usually play the same, but like 2NACI said you do know how the player (rival) will play/style of play. With that being said your opponent/rival will most likely know how you play as well! I like to mix it up when i play against someone ive previously game across ten or more times.

If it's an online game than I don't really care but if I'm playing with the person I frequently meet in real life than it would irritate me

In a live table, I am friendly and say "Hi!" when I enter the game and chat back if they talk to me between hands. I don't talk about my hands or the game itself but chat about something irrelevant to poker. I'm usually not the one who starts the conversation but I don't mind chatting if someone wants to do so. But no matter how friendly I am, I still want to take everyone's chips ;) However, during the hand I'm playing, I don't usually say anything if they try to get something out of me. All in all, I am friendly there and respect my opponents.

online poker is another story. There I don't say hello to anyone and I might even be rude sometimes. I even scare myself occasionally with my attitude! For some reason I consider everyone as idiots unless they prove otherwise. The reason for that is probably the fact that you encounter much more trash talk online since people can't see each other face to face. Nowadays, I have tried to slow it down and try to keep my mouth shut no matter what.

I want to say I don't care but the truth is I do and by admitting I don't like a player it allows me to keep myself in check from justifying stupid plays out of disdain rather than common sense. I do chat the table but only about how they are doing and I don't give out advice to make myself feel smart (I hate those players the most)

Neutral attitude, if the players behave decently.

I don't tend to talk to my rivals, I rather concentrate on the game. If they initiate conversation I try to be polite and respond. If they continue to talk then I end up ignoring them.
