Are you in favor of being able to chat at online tables?

[moriarty137]

For me it doesn't make a difference since I don't usually talk much when I play

 

[bowserdon]

Dont Care

 

[Dimidrol2]

No, it distracts me, especially when the topic is not the essence of the game.

 

[MK_]

Yes... chat is a big part of poker,
although I agree people online
tend to abuse the chat but that's no reason for there to be no chat at all....

 

[LUKADONCICMVP]

don't care never really typed anything anyway.

 

[hilary antonik filho]

When I play, I don't use chat, in fact it is disabled, as I play at several tables, I wouldn't have time or ability to read, write and answer

Personally, I don't really need chat, I communicate very rarely and very little. I usually try not to be distracted by conversations or comments. But in general, I believe that chat should be available, and it is definitely better when it is available than when it is not.

 

[fundiver199]

Its not that big of a deal to me. But when I play on ACR, I do miss the option to chat a little bit. Not that I am using the chat all the time on pokerstars, but its nice to be able to sometimes say a few words like "nice hand", "good game" or similar, especially at a final table. So I do think, sites should have a chat function and then just deal with people abusing it.

For me, communication during the game is definitely not a priority. Conversations, even with friends, are still distracting. That's why I also rarely socialise, only if there is an obvious need. In general, I don't care if a poker platform has a chat room for communication or not.

Nop i never write in poker chats , i hate that . Just fulls focus on table . Also i never show my cards .

 

[pirateglenn]

I think chat is a good tool when used for the right reasons..

Its great to say hi to friends, to wish players well (and i mean it too), if they beat me - fair play but being a fair sport is important to me.

I also as others have mentioned like to acknowledge a good play as much as also query a loose one or what i perceive to be a loose call without it being personal or a criticism, you can extract good information sometimes too.

So yes - im a fan of writing in a room but not excessively.

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

It's always good to socialize with others, some will talk a little and another a little more, but I definitely don't see a problem with people writing while playing poker

 

[flabilim]

It doesn't bother me, because I don't usually go out much to talk, and in a way it's a way of provoking or taking away concentration.

 

[dreamer13]

It was fashionable 15 years ago to write while playing, but now this habit has become obsolete.

 

[Fosterbio]

now in most rooms there is no chat as such and sometimes it is not enough, so I think this is a minus

 

[hamon08]

I support it and use it. When I play poker for a long time at the same limits, I know almost all the regulars, and we sometimes chat right during the game. Usually, it's something trivial like congratulations on a hand you won or something like that, or we discuss the past hands we played. Believe me, chatting can be very useful, especially if your opponents are decent people

 

[SpanRmonka]

I like the option to chat…..no one has to use it, and can easily turn it off.

Especially in CC games or in the kate stages of a tourney. It’s good to have a bit of banter. Poker can be a lively game sat staring at a computer for hours!!

 

[thetick33]

Don't care in tournament if playing heads up ya might talk a bit to someone show hands try to manipulate mentally but otherwise ? Just want ability to take notes on play and players ...could do on own folder excel program or word etc..but ya i doubt id play much at such a place I need my notes on people and hands they play how they play them for future plays

 

[gustavofuentes2]

I like to sometimes be abel o react to a person play just to intimidate if they are being bullies or to simply say great play. But I understand that the language issue is a problem because people can use other languages or make up their own just to cheat.

 

[yuriko oyama]

Unfortunately, some people use this space to disrespect an opponent, whether because of a bad beat or just because the other person plays better. Because of this, I prefer that this resource not be used.

 

[Flyer35]

I like chat but I see a LOT of players who don't.

 

[MishkaZL]

It doesn't matter to me either. If there is a chat, fine, if not, it's not critical
I don't like chatting, and I only do it when it's absolutely necessary.

 

[10gerka]

There are times when you don't have hands and you can write in the chat, I personally don't usually talk much but when I do it is always when something very surprising happens in my hand.

 

[edenman1]

I didn't always chat, but I do miss the chat in 888 games since they updated...

 

[Rob Hobson]

Anyway.
