Taking away the chat box is an awful decision on Bovada's part.

I totally agree! As I saw yesterday in a movie called "The Cardplayer" (italian, not that much about "our" poker, she read out of a book; " The best way to attack a "solid" player, is to distract him with everything you've got from his/her strategy"
I almost made a russian shouting, and he is soooo cool in general!
You have 3 weapons: you, your cards, and your stack!!!
And don't tell me in live poker somebody can ask: Could you please stop him talking? he's making me nervous" That would be too bad for Daniel
