Are you in favor of being able to chat at online tables?

For me it doesn't make a difference since I don't usually talk much when I play

No, it distracts me, especially when the topic is not the essence of the game.

Yes... chat is a big part of poker,
although I agree people online
tend to abuse the chat but that's no reason for there to be no chat at all....

When I play, I don't use chat, in fact it is disabled, as I play at several tables, I wouldn't have time or ability to read, write and answer

Personally, I don't really need chat, I communicate very rarely and very little. I usually try not to be distracted by conversations or comments. But in general, I believe that chat should be available, and it is definitely better when it is available than when it is not.

Its not that big of a deal to me. But when I play on ACR, I do miss the option to chat a little bit. Not that I am using the chat all the time on PokerStars, but its nice to be able to sometimes say a few words like "nice hand", "good game" or similar, especially at a final table. So I do think, sites should have a chat function and then just deal with people abusing it.

For me, communication during the game is definitely not a priority. Conversations, even with friends, are still distracting. That's why I also rarely socialise, only if there is an obvious need. In general, I don't care if a poker platform has a chat room for communication or not.

I think chat is a good tool when used for the right reasons..

Its great to say hi to friends, to wish players well (and i mean it too), if they beat me - fair play but being a fair sport is important to me.

I also as others have mentioned like to acknowledge a good play as much as also query a loose one or what i perceive to be a loose call without it being personal or a criticism, you can extract good information sometimes too.

So yes - im a fan of writing in a room but not excessively.

It's always good to socialize with others, some will talk a little and another a little more, but I definitely don't see a problem with people writing while playing poker

It doesn't bother me, because I don't usually go out much to talk, and in a way it's a way of provoking or taking away concentration.

It was fashionable 15 years ago to write while playing, but now this habit has become obsolete.

now in most rooms there is no chat as such and sometimes it is not enough, so I think this is a minus

I support it and use it. When I play poker for a long time at the same limits, I know almost all the regulars, and we sometimes chat right during the game. Usually, it's something trivial like congratulations on a hand you won or something like that, or we discuss the past hands we played. Believe me, chatting can be very useful, especially if your opponents are decent people

I like the option to chat…..no one has to use it, and can easily turn it off.

Especially in CC games or in the kate stages of a tourney. It’s good to have a bit of banter. Poker can be a lively game sat staring at a computer for hours!!

I like to sometimes be abel o react to a person play just to intimidate if they are being bullies or to simply say great play. But I understand that the language issue is a problem because people can use other languages or make up their own just to cheat.

Unfortunately, some people use this space to disrespect an opponent, whether because of a bad beat or just because the other person plays better. Because of this, I prefer that this resource not be used.

It doesn't matter to me either. If there is a chat, fine, if not, it's not critical :)
I don't like chatting, and I only do it when it's absolutely necessary.

There are times when you don't have hands and you can write in the chat, I personally don't usually talk much but when I do it is always when something very surprising happens in my hand.
