Poker is a social game, and players sometimes talk about the table. These conversations can sometimes be unconscious, but sometimes they are directly related to the game. There are a few ways for you to handle the conversations at the table.

To ignore

Consider cases where someone asks you something casual, like, "Where are you from?". Education has never hurt anyone, and it's only good for you to be well educated with other people, assuming you're not involved in the hand. If you are right in the middle of making a decision, it is perfectly acceptable that you should not answer any questions you may have or say anything other than the basic slang of the game

Hear

Many times someone who is talking to you is actually trying to extract information, but you can learn a lot from him as he does with you. Notice how this person talks to others during a hand and try to see the patterns.

Also, listen carefully to what they say about your playing. They are practically giving you a written guide on how to play against them.

Answer

You can also respond to your opponents. If you do, be sure to be controlled. Do not respond with anger or frustration as this tells other players that you are making mistakes and that it is a good time to invest against you. You can also respond with ironies, but always calm, giving a little joy to the opponent. It is best not to try this option too often as it is difficult to hide our emotions when we are on high pressure ..
