I think it's -EV to try to use chat to gain an advantage. You may gain Vs one player, only to find that the information you give to the other 8 is to your detriment. Why give the good players any info or reads?

Saying funny things is +EV and saying nice things is +EV.

If someone is prone to tilt saying mean things may be +EV, but there is also a -EV risk there so it's best not to.

I was playing with a guy who said "hi, i like poker." about once a minute. I don't think it helped him much but it gave everyone a chance to make fun of him when he busted out.

I rarely ever chat. If you have time to chat you have time to play +1 more sng then you are currently playing.

And if the numbers say i have to play it, i welcome your move.

Theres a difference between no gain and negligable gain. Ultimately i agree that its just shouting into nothingness most of the time. But for that 1 in X times, thats money you make by definition.

I only singletable, so yeah, when i start multitabling i know this is something i wont be doing.

I always talk about how I read "play poker like the pros by Phil Hellmuth". I find that I get a ton of respect at the table after letting them know.

This was live, but it pertains to the topic, so I'll post it anyway. This is copy and pasted from the EPT Deauville Report on my website

[ QUOTE ]
I was down to just under 60,000 chips with the blinds at 10,000 and 20,000. It was my big blind, and I was in awful shape. I told the table, “Just so you guys know, I have to call here with any two, so feel free to fold.” I placed my chips on top of my cards before I looked at them, to show the table that I wasn’t joking.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think saying this line was hugely +EV.
