In live games, some players are very talkative while others barely say a word.

I’ve noticed talking can sometimes give away information, but it can also make the game more enjoyable.

Do you usually chat at the table or stay focused and quiet?

In my location, playing live is completely unprofitable, so I only play online. Talking during the game helps some, while others find it distracting. However, I think I'd rather avoid talking during a live game. It's easier to stay focused in silence.

I'm not talking that much in general, at the table I think I can exchange a couple of words.

I only talk back if they're saying something unrelated to the hand. I had this one guy driving me nuts with all his talking in a live game, and ultimately I think that is part of some players' strategy, you know, the Negreanu/Kabrhel modus operandi

I only play on line and I usually play 2 tables, so I have no time to talk.
But I used to love watching Daniel Negreanu play poker just because he talked a lot and made the game fun to watch.
His style, his attitude; he's still my favourite..
