blonde poker forum

just wanted some views on all the blondes,
the game is changing so quick we are getting more and more like the states,i do it myself and a lot of my mates do it to.i know there is a fine line as to what you can say but personally i think its great for the game,so long as your NOT rude to anyone ie rubbing down or bad language,i think it breaks the atmosphere as a lot of new people are coming into the game and when you say you play poker i think that people think ooooooooh ahhhhhh seedy dark rooms with no talking,it really do break it up a bit and you have a good laugh.on thursday i hit a dream final table and there was more chat there than all the indian restaurants in india,we all had a great great time and loads of fun ,i wont tell you who won ,but it was me lol,even the dealers said afterwards that they would have dealt it for free ,they have never seen anything like it,we even had spectators hystericaly laughing.in my honest own opinion this was the best final table ive been on (not just coz i got the result)but everyone said after how much fun they had and can you now extend the clock ,so that the clock dont get called on us for talking lol,just wanted a few peoples views thnx in advance JAMES

why dont you add a poll?

i think everyone should be quiet and sit there with blank looks on there faces so i can get a better read

you never catch me talking at a table ;D

TBH i dont mind either way, i can sit there in silence just as easily as i could sit there chatting away.

I'd be interested to find out how many people would prefer to just sit in silence and how many people that engage in table talk do so reluctantly.

Depends on what frame of mind I am in..Occasionally I will talk but I mostly prefer to sit quite. As long as the conversation does not require input from me ..others are quite welcome to chat away.

I like plenty of table chat, & I have no problem wirh speech play, as long as it's not rude or personal.

Think I need a new set of ears then, lol  ;D

Use ANY tool to your advantage!

If someone deos not like "speech play" then give them loads!!

I do prefer a nice quiet table.................
and a cup of cocoa................

Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't.  Depends on the atmosphere.

I loosen up when I've had a drink, especially free drinks, especially in Vegas.  Quiet as a mouse in Europe, honest :)

games meant to be about concentration and people chatting can put me off so I would rather everyone sit in total silence ;)
As for speach play, does it work? I can't imagine ever being able to get more information by asking a few questions or chatting to someone.

I like chat at the table, but I don't consider that to be 'table talk'

Having said that, I have no problem with table talk, i.e. trying to get information, or influence a decision, as long an it doesn't go to far.

For instance, I don't like it when I have a tough decision to make, and my opponent is right in my face and refuses to shut up for a moment to allow me to think

love talking to the guy with the ipod on, just keep talking,talking and talking funny as hell you see them getting pissed off

i like talking but wouldnt like it if someone was being agressive. nice pally chat is great

Who finds it hard to talk when u have the nutz and the talker is betting and talking to you to gain info,at this point when i try to talk i sound like an aled jones prepubescent when i re raise all in...


other than that table  talk is ok wi me

Sorry RED.     ;) ;)                              Ahrt Ac         V          Qd Qh

I think I'm calling there with my chips whatever (but I've marked your card)  8)

Red lm off to Ireland 2day for a £300 fo in Magherfelt, got a spare ticket if u fancy. Its sold out.

We fly out this afternoon, back 2morrow. Its a great game m8.

Thanks all the same Mick, but I've just got in and I'm knackered.

Anyway, with flights, hotel, and a wee pop at the cash games, that £300 would end up costing me a bag of sand.

No Hotel and l will put u in for 50% if u want, finishes at 7.30, flight at 8.25. Your game would frighten them as most of them can't fold. I would have you 6/4 to final.


DO U FANCY IT........

How do they know when it finishes, what time does it start, what time do you fly out, can I get a seat on the plane .......??

Tell you what, I'll PM you my number, ring me.
