do you chat while playing?

i don't usually, but if i've had 1.5 beer on an empty stomach, i might get a little friendly...

'cept, i think it affects how i play some players.... if i chat and get a friendly response from Joe1, then i play Joe differently...

what i mean is, that it seems that if i chat with a guy my tendency is to believe their bets more often and avoid any big bets against them.... is that weird?

anyways, do you chat and if so/not, why?

just wondering.... ?

I believe should not be distracted from the game to chat,especially if you play a lot of tables.

It depends on if it is a talkative table.

you shouldnt be chatting with anyone unless its a friendly tournament like home games or the cardschat freeroll where you know the players who are involved on the game. i turn off the chat on all the other tournaments because you can lose your focus on the game and even get tilt if some player disrespects you...

I like to chat. Its more fun to be talking and having a laugh when playing. I am a social guy and I am playing mainly for entertainment only so nobody will tilt me lol

great advice I try to distract players in MTT's by ripping on country politics or something that gets them going. then when i see a reaction kill the chat an take their chips :)

I chat only when it serves a purpose. I find it distracting, especially if a chat-rat is getting the players upset. They get blocked everytime. Sometimes you can pick up information on another players by what they say, but I would rather just play. I do like chatting on the forum, however.

I don't chat, if I play more then 2 tables. I don't have enough time to play and chat. But I shouln't ever chat. It makes me playing worse.

lol, i know you are trolling but dont you think stuff like these happens? for example you made a bad call and get lucky so the other player gets angry and insults you? if you play on cardschat tournaments i might as well turn the chat off then....

I wouldn't dream of insulting any of the Cardschat forum members or even play like i do in most my micro mtt's. I do it to gain an edge in multi thousand man tourneys, an after watching them lip off to other people. I pick my targets before i fire any insults an most of the time the table follows me.

Chatting it up is fun, I feel like it allows me to keep a sane head and it hasn't affected my decisions so far

While I was at the casino the other day this topic came up. I enjoy table banter.

I hate hoodies/glasses/headphones guy who is a hermit. The game is a social game. Granted I get having to think and be calm. But nothin is more boring than a talk less game.

lots of people turn the chat off so good luck in trying to take advantage being an a- hole to players who have done nothing wrong to deserve it.

one thing is live poker which i agree with you its a social game however in online poker you dont see the players you are facing and imo it cant be considered a social game. Also players who play live tend to be more respectful than online players who hide behind a computer to insult and disrespect other players...

Chat makes people more tolerant of each other.
