Juego al póquer todos los días en mi tiempo libre, ¡a veces hablo con personas que solo hablan español!

In online poker I will never speak apart from saying NH or TY. If I play in person with people I know, it is obviously more informal and the conversation happens. But in a casino I'll only talk a little if someone talks to me first. I feel like the more is at stake, the less likely I am to speak.

In a face-to-face game with people we know, we talk normally, but in online poker or with strangers I see no reason for conversation

communication develops my English, I like it while playing. It's kind of okay.

Yes, I do drink and talk but it's mostly because I see live poker as a social event, and online it's a different story, I replace talking with singing haha.

I think you need have concentration in your table. But, sometime, you talk a little, it s no problem.

You need to have care in don’t give sugestions about your modal play.

No, i prefer not to talk at all, even if this is a freeroll and you play for fun it,s better not to talk to anyone during the game.
Some people can be rude by the way, this is how they are trying to play against you at the poker tables.
Just don,t answer anything for them and dont, talk to them.
You also can mute anybody if you want, just because some people can be really rude at the tables.

It really does not bother me too much, I tend to talk a lot when I am doing well and will sometimes show hands I am raising with if they all fold to me, Putting players on the defensive and you can take advantage of some situations.
In one game I had said I was waiting for my first wave of good hands, when I was dealt K/K I raised and when everyone folded, I showed them, then in the very next deal I had A/A and raised again saying "here it comes" everyone folded a 2nd time, So I showed again, on the 3rd deal I had 5/2 given to me and raised a third time and said "3rd time lucky, I just need one caller" they all folded again and I showed a 3rd time.
Most of the table laughed when I showed the 5/2 off, all except the blinds that is. It keeps the other players guessing on what you are holding and raising with, it also tells the table you are not afraid of playing any two cards, I have made the nuts with many different two card combinations even 7/2 wins some of the time.
Losing a small £5 buy-in to some live games I have played, may seem a lot, to some people it could feed a family for a week in some Countries, to me it is couple of cups of coffee.
I play because I want to play Poker, have a little fun and enjoy the game, it really does not bother me when I win or lose, if you can play with this type of attitude, it really is a great game.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

When I play online, I don't chat, I concentrate on the game. If offline, then I talk to distract my opponent))

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

Yes, especially in live poker, by talking to opponents at the table, it can help me to know and read some of their thoughts and movements.

Bro the question is certainly interesting. We need to figure it out.If we play live, then I like to talk at the table in a game of Texas Hold'em. My friends tell me how they are doing, what they are doing. It is very interesting. During conversations, you see some features of their behavior. You study them, which ultimately helps you win against them.If offline , I also constantly talk in the chat. You can find new friends, find out what cards he threw off.

Yes, talking during the game gets in the way. I try to be silent more. However, sometimes you need some kind of remark to emotionally change the situation. For example, to rejoice aloud at the luck that smiled at the unsuccessful course of the game.

During the game, I prefer to be silent, I need concentration, not only on my cards and those on the table, but also in order to aealize my opponents who are sitting next to them at the table, and conversations are distracting.

I really like to talk, it doesn't distract me.
But usually not many partners in it 🤣
Sometimes there are language difficulties

Depends on the talk. If it is fun or funny, I participate, if there is toxicity, I keep my mouth shut (even towards me).
