People miss a simple explanation for live poker getting less friendly: friendliness at the table is negatively correlated to skill.

@NateMeyvis Absolutely disagree (if I am understanding your statement correctly!). Some of the best players I know are extremely friendly.
@keiththecamel In 2005 games often featured seven people _only_ at the table to have a chat and play cards. Surely that makes a difference.

@NateMeyvis I think there is a real misconception that in order to be successful at poker you need to concentrate to a ridiculous extent. -
@keiththecamel Fair enough (though I'm not sure it's so overstated). But would you disagree that the average loser is more likely to chat? - Show replies

@NateMeyvis But playing poker with him is a miserable experience. -
@keiththecamel Absolutely. And I find his stalling downright unethical.
