what i have found out to be a real good while talking it makes it alot easier to play tight because you are cutting the bordum of folding hands bye talking to a guy next to you,being a regular in a cardroom it happens u see the other guys that u respect when they play a hand those are ussually the guys i talk to

OK clarification on my origional post. I talk between hands just fine. Just when I am involved I get silent. Is this a problem?

No I would definitely try to avoid talking while you're involved in a hand. If I'm mid conversation and I get involved in a opt (or the person I'm talking to does) then I say "just a second" and resume talking after the hand.

When my girlfriend started playing she got distracted when someone was talking to her during a hand and the dealer ended up mucking her KK just after she put in a raise preflop. I think she learned a lesson from that one since she would have raked a big pot.
