I've played live games and it's a blast, it's a social environment. (Have fun with it)
You can use speech play to your advantage, Talking opponents into calls or folds when you want.

If I'm playing with friends, I do, otherwise I don't.

Live games have a more social atmosphere compared to online games. I noticed that some players are very talkative and others are silent all the time. Do you think conversations reveal too much information, or can they be used as a strategy to confuse opponents? I'm somewhere in the middle, but I'm wondering what most people are doing here.
I think that talking during an online game is unnecessary. For me, I don't see the need to communicate with my opponents, although in general, if other players want to communicate, I don't mind.

I like to play without talking. I'm focused on the game.

Hi :)
I communicate during the online game, if necessary. But in most cases I keep silent :)

Are there even any sites left where you can chat? most only have those dumb throwable things now.
i think on poker stars you can still chat, at least on the free play chips side you can, im in ky so it wont let me play the real cash games on stars, hardly any site will actually.

Nó I don't usually say anything online, but in person I even chat, because normally there's no way to stay completely silent.

I stay quiet but don't like it when they continue mumbbling or throwing stuff even when I clearly show no reaction to it. It's still cool, just not my thing.

It's impossible not to talk, otherwise it seems eternal, you can also get information from your opponent or discuss some hands to see how he thinks

Mostly stay silent, I find the cartoon comments and animations quite annoying on some of the sites.

I have only ever been to one live game, but it was at a bar not casino :p <3 and when in public, I am very quiet. I never talk lololol as if! Babble my butt off. All part of my game :)

I'm silent. Always. There are too many players who talk all the time. Some talk many bad words when they loose. So I don't take part in chats. Newer.

I only use chat to respond to questions or comments from my opponents. But I rarely initiate conversations myself. I prefer to play silently.

I rarely, but I do talk, but if possible I prefer to pay attention to body language and try to concentrate on my game.

I prefer to stay quiet. I'm a medium player so I'd rather focus on the game. I play live and what I've noticed, the other players just want my money. So I prefer to focus on the game. Nobody is there to make friends.

I usually play 6 tables, so it would be pretty hard to manage chatting. However I try to follow is anyone says anything, just in case it gaves any info. Also, if the comment is addressed to me, I try to answet if I have time (if it is not just a silly insult)
