Speechplay and Moodys

Nothing wrong in speech play - as long as it is not insulting.

There is no difference (imo) to speech play, and trying to give off false tells.

Both of which I happen to think work on SOME people, but not all.

Im all for it.

i love speach play,,,until i have to do the hand signs for the hard of hearing(i pod men)i think its fab good laugh,good banter,good fun...........and i am the best at it,,,..,.when i talk i got it,.,.,.,.,.,and when im quiet.,.,.,.,.i still got it.,.,.,lol

[KingPoker]

[Dewi_cool]

I got complaints about my sing play at Bolton, even said I was out of tune WTA

[Simon Galloway]

Something puzzles me too...at my local haunts I can say anything except declare my ACTUAL hand

So if someone asks me, "have you got Aces", and I have, its ok to lie and say no but not to double bluff and say "yes"

If I do, my hand can be declared dead

This one is so badly thought out.  If your answer HAS to be a lie, you may as well have a silence rule instead?  What is the point (when your opponent knows you HAVE to be lying or maybe lose the pot) in saying I have AK or I have a small pair?  It is just information given away for free.  Either you can talk about your hand or you can't.  Having a rule that you can talk as long as it is a lie doesn't help one way or the other.

Personally I think speech play should go, but a line drawn on the Hollywood brigade that go into it every bleedin hand.

If you have ever sat at a table with Roberto Ramanello you would be a fan of speech play. The guy is superb. Hours of entertainment.

I should add, always in good spirit and never out of order

I love speech play - as long as it is good banter. It makes for a much more fun and interesting game.

I think it's a great addition to the psychological part of the game if you allowed to talk someone off a hand or talk their chips into the pot.

I also like my opponents to speech play as it gives me more information about their hand.

Try a table with Simon Nowab and Paul Parker - classic stuff!!!

one particular instance comes to mind

mr young an cocky goes all in before me....

I wasnt intending playing my pair of 4's at all especially as he was utg and i was on his left..but it was  shorthanded...


so i am just delaying a lil ready to muck,when he says "muck em i have a high pair"....

now i dont know whether he got me angry or i had a feeling i was ahead,but i called he had JK os and i knocked him out


as he stands up he berates my call " terrible play,i told u i had u beat and u called!!"


I didnt say anything as it prob was a dodgy call

but the thing is if he has said nothing and came over all mysterious i would for sure have folded

goes to show speechplay can backfire quite easily
