I don't want to talk while playing because it makes you lose focus and make the right decisions

yes, I like to chat during a game of poker... I like to give that nudge, interact and try to somehow distract my opponent.

If playing on site, yes.

Otherwise, talking alone is not really funny 🤔

I very seldom chat, but I watch the catch constantly. It's a very good way to get online tells.

No. I concentrate only on the game. I don't like to be distracted by extraneous conversations.

I prefer to always stay quiet, whatever happens, I always like to be focused on my game and be attentive to take note of each opponent, because if I start talking I always lose concentration and start to lose bounces and many errors.

No, I don't prefer to chat while playing poker, it happens very rarely.

It distracts me from concentrating on playing poker, although I can't say that's why I don't use chat, since sometimes I watch youtube, or something else while playing poker, which interferes with my concentration. I'm going to have to get it out of the habit.

Chatting while playing poker just doesn’t attract me.

not a biggie 4 me

Talking affects me none, unless I'm sitting with someone I'm trying to get to know but even then if it's not a she, I'm fine. Music with lyrics affect me though!...

If I do talk, it's would just be a short reply or something small. Not any long drawn out conversation.

In poker, effective trash talk can provide you with some distinct advantages.
The greatest a trash-talker can aspire for is to force a superior player at his table to make a move so terrible that he or she is eliminated from the game.Anything in your game that diverts your attention away from the game, saps your energy or impairs your concentration is a –EV possibility. Talking smack may sound nice, and it may give you an adrenaline boost and let you to eliminate some of your opponents, but it's still a bad thing to focus on, especially in the complex world of poker. ;)

Poker

Depending on how comfortable I feel. And just depends on the conversation. But for the most part I won’t talk unless someone has something insightful to discuss. Not gonna just sit and talk politics or economy at the poker table.

Not for Me

I generally do not talk during a game

Since I don't have a microphone set up on my computer,
I must type-chat which is not practical for me during a game

It distracts me from observing the table action,
sometimes affecting my betting decisions

I would rather just focus on the table and not on the chat

On LINE I don't like it.
But I like it live, it's really cool to talk to the crowd, even more if your friends are at the table.

I prefer listening to good music or being silent, rather than talking during the poker game, both in person and online....

It's a strategy!

No! I absolutely can't stand chatting during a tournament. It may be a strategy though because the last time someone was chatting at a table I was at, I couldn't focus on my game. The guy was complaining about the site we were on and how he couldn't win anymore. I wanted to tell him "talk less, play better" but before I could I had accidently went all in and lost. So maybe it's a strategy?;):angel:
