I almost never chat.............
Man...... you can't shut me up!
I have sat in at tables that are totally quiet, and I nearly fell asleep. You need the chat at the tables. That is half the fun of this game, getting to know the people. The chips have nothing to do with it for me, except I need them to get in the Tournaments (my favorite play, not ring tables). In the past 48 hours, I have gone from close to 200k and as I type this, I have less than 900 chips total. Now I have to go play the ring tables, low level, to rebuild. A lot of those players do not even have their chat activated. Others have been muted for inappropriate language, abuse, or harrassment. So, yes. Chat on. There are some good people on these tables, from all around the world. Some are not quite fluent with the English language, so they may not understand you and may not reply, but be tolerant and try to understand, and help when needed. We are all here to have fun. Keep it clean, keep it civil. I could keep going on about this, but we can chat at the table.
