[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]I think it is possible to make a true friendship in poker, just do not confuse, because if I have to beat my friend I will win and if he wins from me, that's fine too, just have to have respect.[/COLOR]
You can make true friends in poker, but don't show each other favoritism at the poker table. Might end up ruining the friendship when somebody backs out on an agreed deal.
Make friends for outside the poker table, but on the table, treat them like you would anyone else.

I’m assuming this isn’t referring to online poker but in real life, sure
Because your interest is the same, it is easier to get a friendship. Cardschat's tournaments I usually see people just speak out everything, and have a nice conversation. So being in a community while you're doing what you love definitely lead you to friends. :dancing2:
I actually have made a really good friend, his name is Dominic, on the 1cent-2cent tables at America's Cardroom. He was displaying such good camaraderie at the table, as opposed to the usual toxicity, I had to friend the guy. We are Facebook friends and chit chat every day, sharing our trials and tribulations and tilt. It def is possible.
Hello gustav197poker! I will say only my opinion...I think anyway need to try
keep up a "Golden Middle" in your behavior for the poker table: I mean, that
not need specially to friend (or feud) with the opponents, to this interfered
your play, your mind, consciousness and subconsciousness... I think, the equal,
by possibility, relationships with the all players for poker table is a best decision
for a quality own play in Poker!

I think it is possible. But it is easier when you find yourself with that person, I spend once in CC tournaments that were held in PokerStars, met several players from Peru and Brazil and we ended up being good friends even after winter tournaments.
Friends
I have been involved in conversations at tables for hours with someone I found common ground with. Have carried the conversation in the casino floor as well, but never considered being friends outside of it. Is it possible? Yes, it is. I would have no issue being friends with someone I met at a table. Main thing though I would not let the poker be a reason for being friends, I figure I can figure out their game best sitting at the table. And at the end of the day, if he or she puts their money out on the table and I have a chance to take it, well that's why I am at the table!

Hello, Everyone! I think, if You sit down for the poker table: not important in alive game
or this is in online, You want to win. If You won't to win, then why to play?! What is sense
in the Game then?.. And make friend You may and after Game! Because the any Game,
not only a Poker, this is always a competitive moment between separate people or teams
of people!.. Therefore my opinion and conclusion next: if You sat down to play, then only
to play! And for friendship:icon_flowleave other free time!😎

Possible, but HARD
Yes, I think it is possible, but I also think it is extremely hard. Poker room chat isn't the easiest to communicate on for a real conversation.
However, I do see that on sites like ACR that has a smaller network of players (or so it seems), the number of players in each game is relatively small. After awhile you start to see the same players so they become familiar.
So if you are simply looking to gain advantage by befriending to understand more about their poker strategy and style; then again the Poker room chat is not the best to communicate on. So instead you can do that just by observing and making player notes.
However, if you actually want to form real friendships and get to know the people you are playing with then I suggest watching poker streaming on Twitch. Find streamers that only play at the sites you do and follow them. Watch them play and chat with other viewers, who are most times other poker players from those sites.
Hope this helps!

friendship at the poker table is a teamplay — not an honest game — if you play for money. but people like to play with interesting and funny people, because if you lose, they can no longer sit at the table with you. You need to be a little actor — people and money reach for you!
