I prefer to play with a focused mindset, whether online or live. Of course, the atmosphere is different in certain online tournaments, like the CardsChat community, private games, where we tend to interact a little more at the table. The same applies to live play in smaller tournaments with friends or acquaintances, besides playing poker, we’re there to have some fun at the table too!
However, to be consistent and profitable in online play, I don't think being very active in the chat or using emojis helps in nothing, on the contrary in my opinion.. lol 🤐

Haha, I am the same way 😉 I do think there is a time and a place for emojis and goofy business, however I think it is always more important to be focused on the actual play, and leave the banter for the silly games. 😄

I am pretty quiet at the table; I'm polite when spoken to but don't discuss tactics/strategy/etc. around hands played nor do i respond to politics and needles. I definitely listen to table banter as you can pick up things that may help you. I'll be posting a good example of this in my blog shortly.

That is a good tactic. Sitting tight, yet listening to the banter can give one information without giving much of oneself away. 😂 I am interested in seeing that example in your blog, the banter that happens at the table sometimes can tell you more than their actions ♠️
 
I think it depends on the people I'm with, if they are friends I like the table to be something fun, that we provoke in a friendly way, but if they are unknown people I prefer it to be quiet, I think it's because I prefer to lose money for friends than for strangers

Talking in relevance or in the break, I don't mind. Talking about your dinner, not so much.

Do you enjoy playing with a group that talks constantly about sports, movies, and jokes, or do you prefer a quiet, serious table where everyone just focuses on the game?

If the players are happy and engaged the action will be better . A quiet , dull , tight table will be tough to beat .

definitely prefer a noisy table. quiet tables where everyone has hoodies up and sunglasses on feel like a funeral. plus if people are shooting the shit about sports or whatever, they’re usually playing looser and having fun, which is way better for the game anyway.
