Don\'t talk
Something occurred to me a little while ago.
My best reads are on those who either make a stupid play against me... or never shut up in the chat. I'm working to cure the dire need to talk to people when I'm playing. I wonder if I give anything away??? |

Re: Don\'t talk
Since it's way too late/early and I'm bored, I'm curious as to what reads you pick up on people through their chat.

Re: Don\'t talk
I am drawn to THEM specifically. If there is a lot of chatter, my mind automatically focuses on that table, (usually because I'm chatting with them.)
Therefore, I have a better read on those specific players, and to a lesser extent, the rest of the table. |

Whenever I chat, it seems my results suffer. Good observation.

Re: Don\'t talk
The strong and silent type of player is always the "coolest".
I especially love it when other players call me a bot because I don't respond. Or when they say "He never talks and barely plays, he is a rock". |

Re: Don\'t talk
I have chat turned off. But sometimes when i feel like dropping some stupid one liner, i will turn it on, say something like "Nice Call" and then turn it off.

Re: Don\'t talk
When players are talking about their hands or how to play poker in chat or along those lines then you know they suck.

Re: Don\'t talk
I did notice when I turned off chat for sometime my game seemed to get better? Not sure if this was really a +EV thing or I was just on a winning streak. BUT, when I turned chat back on and engaged in conversation my game started to hurt some. This transition was over several months time.

Re: Don\'t talk
You're losing something, but nothing huge in the unobservant Party games. Just don't do it though. Unless you enjoy the social aspect, and are willing to sacrifice a couple bucks. If it's to berate a fish, you deserve to lose money, because you're costing all of us cash.
