Chat is muted, if you're sending me something, I'm not ignoring you.

first there are people who let themselves be won by the pressure of what one talks about and others not because they trust their game, their hand. Second, they do not feel the pressure for their bank, that is, if you have plenty of money and you pay for a hand that you consider good, it does not hurt, because throughout you know that you recover by volume, and that what you studied prepares you for that.

Silence, for sure; there are usually some clueless people who start pestering others—people who don't know how to lose or want to joke around all the time.

I’ve noticed that table chat can sometimes be funny and entertaining, but it can also become distracting when players start arguing after a hand. When I’m trying to concentrate, I sometimes prefer not seeing any of it. Do you enjoy reading table chat while playing, or do you usually ignore it?
I
always turn off the chat. I actually like some of the throwable designs and find them fun, but there’s always that one annoying player who keeps spamming throwables the whole time.

I usually ignore the table chat when I’m playing seriously. It can be funny sometimes, but once people start arguing or complaining, it just becomes a distraction. I’d rather stay focused on the hands and the game

I block it; I don't like any interruptions. In fact, I only check my phone during breaks

If there's a chat, I keep it open just to see who's moaning about a bad beat or the famous zzzzz when someone's taking too long, I don't chat myself unless it's a friend from CC

Yep, I mute it.
Chat is 90% tilt and distraction. I’d rather focus on the players and the cards.

There's nothing worse than having to think about an important decision while someone on both sides is talking.Don't talk to someone you just beat.

Table chat is an important source of information , and should be used that way .

Online, I prefer to play on minimalist mode to reduce distractions. Not sure if it's because of my ADHD, but ggpoker often feels a bit chaotic to me - all the emotes, thowables, etc. Live I prefer a bit of talk to make things go seemingly faster.

If the chat gets too busy, chaotic, or distracting, yes I will mute it! To be honest, I don't really like interacting in the chat while I'm playing .
Generally stays active, I rarely block the chat and I rarely type anything during the game..

I usually ignore it when I’m playing seriously. Sometimes table chat gives you useful information about a player’s mindset, but arguments and distractions can easily affect your own focus. I’d rather watch their actions than their words.

I usually read the table chat for a few minutes because it can make the game more enjoyable. Sometimes players joke around or congratulate each other after a big hand, and that creates a friendly atmosphere. However, if the chat turns into arguments, insults, or constant complaints about bad beats, I ignore it or mute it so I can stay focused. In online poker, concentration is more valuable than getting involved in unnecessary conversations. For me, table chat is fun as long as it remains respectful.
