Absolutely it is. I have made several friends over the years. I love them dearly. I was just remembering a poker site called Fat Cat Casino. I made so many friends there.
of course friend, the porker is a sport and you have to learn to win and lose at the same time, and if you can make very good friends even from cards hehehe social nights

I gave that one a like since it was pretty close to what my first impression has been.
If you go play some cards for some change why wouldn´t you meet some nice people to stay in contact with? It might rather change on a professional level. I would guess you will meet a lot of nice people that you respect and like to get in touch with which you wouldn´t consider a friend though because of a lack of intensitiy. It isn´t impossible though. But the risk is definitly higher the person might drop you over money. That is a character nobody would show you over some coins.
But if you and that guy might put values over money? It will work just fine. You can be rivals at the table and fight hard. It might make both of you even better. And you can cheer for each other and also build a friendship that exists when Poker is no topic at all.
The city in which I live is quite small, and when there were poker clubs or casinos in our city, the same people went there. In total, there were 30-50 people who knew about the existence of these gambling establishments, and therefore every time I came there to play, I met the same people. I cannot call these people friends, but thanks to live poker, I have many more acquaintances with whom I can meet at any time to talk about different topics or about life in general. I love playing live poker more against people I have played with before and know their style of play than against new opponents.
Hi all!
Yes, you can make friends in all situations. It depends on your goals regarding that topic. Are you open to the possibility of making new friends? From what you say, maybe you are running away or are afraid of new relationships. In my case, I would like to have the possibility to play live since I never did, and generate friendships 🙂

Online ,I doubt you can make real friends because you have to be cautious about who is behind that keyboard.
In live games ,on the contrary I made some really good friends because you can go restaurants and participate in lot of activities that help build a strong relantionship.
Online,I sure have some poker buddies but I wont call them friends

Haha..yep. A great place to find your best buddy is at a very low stakes game. But it is very hard to make it work once someone strips a few hundred from someone in a dirty bad beat with questionable play. So I would have to say NO to this question.
I live in Toronto Canada, and before Covid, played fairly regularly (about 5 times a year) at a casino in Niagara Falls New York. I have gotten to know some of the other retired regulars (us old geezers stick together) and I am very friendly with them at the tables, but I have not met with any of them outside the poker room. They are nice people, regardless of who wins or loses, but it is too hard to establish what I call a real friendship in a different country when I might see them a few times a year (if they happen to be at the poker room on the same day that I am there on holiday). My definition of friendship is very high...my true friends have known me since school days, some 45 - 50 years ago.
I do not think that poker is a way to get true friends, a friendship is achieved taking into account other things, apart from poker. There must be compatibility not only for the game, but in other aspects of life, such as: ideas, feelings, empathy ... and stop counting.:icon_santgustav197poker said:
