The home game, card room, and online..

The fun, low-stakes home game, no pressure involved, talking is cool. Card room, don't want to say much, give the observant players a tell on me.
Online, I turn off chat; one more distraction I can do without.

During the game, I try not to talk - it is distracting. Only at the final table - I can write and wish you luck

I almost never talk during the game. Conversations are distracting. I try to be as focused as possible on the game and my decisions.

If sometimes I talk to the other players it makes the game more fun and trained and if you are in a bubble it relieves the pressure hahaha

At the poker table, I answer only greetings, conversations for amateurs.

Well ... in my case ... I usually pass in silence during tournaments ... once in a while I greet a friend who is at the same table with me ... mainly when I play Cardschat tournaments ...!

I don't talk during the game, it distracts me and I lose concentration.

I used to like to talk while playing, but due to poor knowledge of English, I began to lose concentration, as a result of which I began to lose. Talking while playing is very interesting and fun, it’s a pity that I don’t have such an opportunity. There is a great desire to learn English, but as always there is not enough time, so you have to play in silence.

I do not talk and I mute everyone else online . . . I am not interested in other people's chatter and I am certain they would not be interested in mine. In live poker I wear ear bugs, much like on an airplane I have no interest in socializing with someone I plan to only spend a limited amount of time with.

never talk in the poker game because it can take my concentration off the game and have a tel in the game.

It’s not really a problem to chat while playing poker. I don’t like to talk much, so I like to short the conversation. So absolutely no problem!

no, in itself, I am not very sociable, I like to be silent and I have no problems with that, but if they speak to me I will respond with kindness. as it should be.

If I talk during the game, I lose my concentration, I start talking and I don't stop.

It depends, I think this is more from person to person. You have to find the balance.

I am very quite by nature and dont talk as much as others at the table but when i am at a friendly table I do join in and enjoy the conversations. There have been time I never said a work other than raise or call and others where it was like hanging out with friend laughing and joking around.
