Yeah, I get that. It's just my opinion that they'd have an easier time actually getting their money if they were willing to chat them up a bit and lighten the mood at the table a little. For whatever reason, that's not the way it usually is though and I think that can make poker less fun for those who are only trying to play recreationally.
 
Look at it this way.... Which would you rather do.... If you had to choose one.... lose a pot to a guy who has been friendly to you, at least off-and-on throughout the night, who you've had bits of  pleasant conversation with here and there, or to the other guy who has not said a word all night, has deliberated and/or showboated over every decision, and just generally stares everyone down all night and makes no attempt to be friendly?
 
Assume you lose the same amount either way. Which do you choose? Seems like those who want to take the game seriously could/should take advantage of this on a meta-game level and generally be a little friendlier at the tables.
