I pretty much don't talk at all when I am playing. And you are right, there is definitely a lot of rudeness out there.

Funny story: One time I was in a SNG and it was just me and one other player left. I ended up winning but right before the game closed, I took a look at the chat box (which I always hide). It turns out that person wished me good luck at the beginning of the heads-up match but he/she got offended that I didn't say good luck back. The next few messages were basically taunts and insults. LOL. Moral of the story is don't be offended if someone ignores you in the chat. They probably just have it turned off.

Rarely I start the chat because I think it weakens my game. But sometimes when I play home games and play with acquaintances here in the forum or when I'm in the mood I start the chat and I think it lifts my spirits

I chat to troll the villain. However, it usually backfire and make me tilt instead. However, if I see someone looks like trying to bluff with all-in, I fold and then chat, "pro gamer move".

It is difficult to communicate when the language is different.

Playing on Pokerstars I've found a lot of non-English chat. Didn't think this was allowed, but have never seen it moderated.

Someone at table has to screen grab it & report it.

I never chat during a game I feel it's disrespectful to the other players at the table. I love it when a player uses the chat to trash me because I just added their chips to my stack and they know it. I just laugh off the insults they come from a loser

Good to know, thanks.

It is very fun to communicate, it is great to raise your mood with new friends, but online poker is not a place where you can talk quietly. The speed of the game is high, and if you want to achieve a good result, you need to play several tables at the same time, in addition, calculate the odds and possible combinations of the opponent, monitor the bets and players. where can I find time to talk?
I
am kind and sociable in my own way, and if I communicate with someone, I will definitely not want to offend them and I will definitely make mistakes

In fact, communicating and playing well is an art for me, since I focus on the game itself, but if I have discarded the cards, I can also maintain a dialogue.

I never chat while playing poker, I normally play 4-5 tournament s at a time so don't even notice much chat going on. I'd rather have the tournament info displayed on the chat window instead

Never chat at all. There is no reason to do that. Only thing I use is the rocket on pokerstars with players who waste time.

very useless to chat while playing. the last you want to have is some form of distraction to your game. unless youre distracted anyway then it pretty much doesnt matter right?

Hi. I really like to talk and even play, to relax. And sometimes a provocation can happen. game strategy.

Mostly no I don't chat at the table unless I know someone ... or if I'm live I talk and put up the reasonable image of friendly ... in online play , for me I rarely say anything at all good or bad

I never chat - I'm just anti-social, lol

I chat but rarely, mostly I focus on my game, it is difficult to chat always because you lose focus on your game, but some use it to speak rude, vent their anger, or sometimes intimidate, but one should always be focused on their game and do not think about what your rival writes, because it is dangerous.

When you play at multiple tables, you don't have time to chat. However, you can use the chat to mislead your opponent. I use it very rarely, so that it is not lonely to play.

very rarely write in chat, it distracts about the game.

I only use chat to say adios to haters whenever they are eliminated ?!?

wait, so you think opponent is bluffing but you still fold?

is that 'pro gamer move' directed at yourself?

I never use chat and never pay attention if I can turn off chat.

I used to use it to let rip at the table. I have since learned to curb my temper and very rarely speak at the table now. And that is all down to this forum, so I am grateful

I always play with the chat window closed. I don't like the thrash talk that some players do.

I practically do not chat! But I like to monitor the communication of other players - sometimes their dialogs say a lot about their level and thinking!

I am most likely to use chat when some idiot is continuously insulting the worst player at the table and I fear they will be driven away. I try and make the game more fun for said worst player.

It's really tiring and boring to play silent offline poker. Online version usually playing silently, not wasting attention on chat(usually had 4-5 tables open when played active)
Anyway chatting means life

Love to chat!

I like to chat over discord with poker friends, but only if they are following my game. Discussing hands with them helps me make better decisions. I try to avoid chatting when it is going to be a distraction rather than a help. In poker it is important to be focused on all the movements that happen at our table. As we manage to have a better concentration of what happens at our table, the difference that we can make on our game will be very substantial, since it will allow us to play a highly exploitative game, and not a robotic mechanic game.

I don't use chat much unless I am in the freerolls for this site. Other than that I never use it. I seem to only see people complaining and that just isn't interesting for me.

i only use the chat box to curse people out lol!

I sometimes drop rockets and a box of napkins. Chatting makes it difficult to think, or a game or communication, is one thing.

If you mean cheat bar on poker apps I don't like it, Many players bully each other after a winning hand and I found it really annoying,
But sometimes If i'm playing on a single table I will chat with my friends It does not affect my game at all

Seems that different sites have more or less people chatting then others, For example play mostly at ACR where there seems very little chat going on. However at BOL players seem to chat more and maybe that is because there you can post your picture. At times seems like a dating pick up site then a poker site LOL

Cheers All!

I am not into chatting while playing and I hate players who talk way too much, I find them to be very annoying

I don't like to chat when playing i prefer to listen to music or chat with real person in the same room

I like to talk when I play at a poker club

I very rarely write in the chat, it distracts from the game

I really enjoy to chat with people at the table, maybe it is not the best for my game but it added much more fun to my poker sessions and many times i had really nice experiences although it started that someone through few tomatoes and eggs on me.
just really love it-but very often i`m the only one who likes to talk.

I rarely use the chat. I try to focus in the number of players left and when the blinds are going up.

I don't usually chat while I play, I rarely do

I usually chat while playing when im playing with friends. But ut backfires sometimes when you get to muss your turn when typing messages.
When im in mtt i dont chat unless there is an a hole that talks trash towards me.

I turn the chat off a lot of the time, but sometimes its funny to see all the butt hurt comments from the unlucky players..LOL

I just keep it where I can see the tourney stats at all times

I personally don't like to chat while I'm playing. It kind of distracts me from the game. I mostly like to contact some of the players I know, and ask them how they are. I think one ‘hi’ is enough, and a polite question as to how they are. Anything other than that I think is a lot and unnecessary. Just as it interferes with my game, it may bother them. It is better not to bother the players. Although I have seen a lot of players who vent their anger and are quite uncultured. It's all from person to person.

I don't usually use a lot of chat, unless I meet someone at the table or to comment on a situation in the game ... but these are isolated cases ..

I tend not to use the Chat function, except for the very rare occasions when I feel it really necessary, and even then I wont maintain it... to much distraction IMO

I can sometimes chat over the game. But I think that it distracts and reduces attentiveness. I think just saying hello in the poker ring is enough.

I prefer staying quiet, but sometimes I kinda like to chat a bit if the other players seems friendly.
