Actually if we talk about live poker, if you usually meet people

but that's also how you make friends and enemies in face-to-face poker

but when it comes to online poker it is very difficult to make friends! if I already made contacts with
people we are playing online

Definitely live game! Started playing with a few close buddies, then the group grew and we all already had something in common. Online is a little more tricky, but if you put yourself out there. You usually have some good conversation ��

I have not met any friends playing online poker. Live poker is where I meet people. I also don't chat because I'm usually playing multiple tables online.

I have.
Accidently saw the cap with pokerstars label my friend wore)
About a year or so I saw the phone screen with PS game.

I think we all have some friends who play poker, just don't know about it.
Even my new man turned up a poker player ( just for fun)

Playing Online I would say I never had the chance to know and have a friend, and I have been playing for years! It is usually occasional "hey how are you?" greets from players in my country Philippines, (not so many), and interaction is not that long specially if you play "fast" poker :)
The others I don't think they want to be my friend especially if they greet me with "You donk", "you fish!" LOL.

I've made many friends over the years playing in home poker games, especially while living overseas. It was a great excuse to get the small foreign community together to hang out, drink some beers and play a fun game. Plus, everyone was able to improve their games by playing weekly.

I've never made a friend since I played poker, you don't have to feel sorry, you have to do your best to win.

Reading the replies in this thread, you'd think Poker is a mainstream game with its place in society.

I have friends where Poker is a mutual interest, but I've found more often than not, that people generally view Poker as (irresponsible) gambling that is no different than blackjack or any other game you'd find in a casino.

EDIT: oops, realized this thread is in the "Online Poker" forums. On online poker, everyone plays poker :p

Playing online poker, I personally did not have time to make a real friendship with anyone. But I got to know some of them quite well and sometimes we correspond on the Internet.

One of my friends also plays online poker, we persuaded a third friend to play with us, then he cursed us because he lost his entire monthly salary ^^, I decided that it is better not to do it again: P

It is strange, but I have not made friends playing Poker, of course, it is because we all see each other as rivals. And nobody wants to befriend you when they think they want to take your money from you.

I haven't made friends , playing online poker, been playing many years now too. I just play poker , not looking to make friends. I close all chats when I play poker. Playing live poker I still don't make friends, play live with my friends as well. Making friends playing any poker I haven't made any friends.

If many times after many hours of play a friendship is created that often transcends the poker table

I would have to say no ..... it was always around ... first friendship, then poker with them. Playing online I never managed to befriend any of them. Regards.
