I ask because many times it is said that a player befriended another at a table, so many times frequent the same place.
In my case, I find it hard to achieve a solid friendship at a table, that is why I like to vary the casinos where I am going to play. So they have no chance to meet me and I feel calmer when I am in new environments.
Although the ideal is to meet the player who confronted me, to be able to gather more information about his game and use it in my favor.
What do you think of this aspect of poker? Are you really interested in forming friendships at a poker table?
Greetings and thanks for your answer.

Yes, and I have! Some are from work that we found our common interest, and others were made from just talking at the table!

I play with friends at the same table, but during the game we are rivals, because poker is just a game, today I win, and tomorrow my friend, I do not see anything wrong with it

to make friends with an ulterior motive is a very shady thing to do :eek:

Live it is hard, but online I have met some good friends. Actually it's through streaming. By streaming, you can get to know someone a lot easier.

I believe I can make sincere friendships in poker, that does not mean that you will stop winning this new friend of yours.​

I think it is said that you make new friends at the game table, considering that you play for real money. When it comes to money it is harder with friends. Yes, I agree that you make friends but only if you play on chips and not on money.

Absolutely possible. Juts like it's possible to make friends in other spots no one would think of. There's a show called a Million Little Things....characters became best friends when they got stuck in an elevator. Ya, it's a show...but I'm sure stuff like that happens all the time.

Friends ... That's boring. Much better (and useful) is to make enemies :cool:

Players on the table are different. Some of them do not talk at all, other talk rubbish to try to tilt people and some try to be polite and extract information about you which they can use in their favor. There is also group who are there to socialize and relax and do not care about the game at all. I personally am ok to speak with somebody about general topics as far as it do not distract me from the game. I do not exclude the possibility to meet another player on the tables who have similar interests to you so that you become friends out of the table. If you meet somebody only during poker games and he pretends to be your friend most probably he tries to use this in his/her favor.

Of course you can make friends, it depends what you expecting from a true friend...
I always think, what's a good friend.
But wherever you go, you can make friends...
Good luck ��

People can maintain friendly and friendly relations, only by and large, and by definition, there are no friends at the card table, since everyone wants to win the bank. In case of conspiracy, players can play on one hand, only this is fraud.

Of course it is possible ... I have several friends in this forum ... and I usually greet them if we meet at the same table during a tournament ... however when we are playing poker ... and I have a hand in which I could eliminate a friend from the tournament ... well I will ... with this what I try to say is that we should not allow when we are playing poker ... friendship nuble our decisions ...!

Personally, I have enough friends in real life, so I actually do not need friends online. But I think it is quite possible to have friends who often play with you online.
