I think this is really situational. I've been playing at Foxwoods fairly regularly this year and have become "friendly" with many of the locals in the NL games. I wouldn't say that I am friends with any of them though. I have a good work and personal friend who occasionally steps into the same game that I'm playing. To be honest, I don't like him being at the same table as me since my NL game is much stronger than his, and I have taken a lot of pots from him. He doesn't mind losing to me (I don't think), but I don't like doing that to friends. Just the way I'm wired - I'd rather win money from total strangers and spend time with friends doing constructive, fun stuff.
BTW - Get working on that Riverstreet retrospective! ;-)
