    I've been at tons at very talkative tables, but sometimes I do multi table and therefore am in mini-view with the chat box closed.  May I ask what level and type of game you mainly play?

    I'll speak to you

    mmmmmmm  what do you want to talk about :)

    I'll talk to you.  I think the problem is often that many people multi-table and so have the chat box closed.  If you post on the forums you will get lots of response.

    try the deepies, players have more time for chat on these, especially the £5:50, 8:15pm one. cash players tend not to chat as much in my experience,unless its abuse after a bad beat lol

    I quite often get involved in chat in the low stakes MTTs. Most of the time it's just "nh" or "ul" or "you lucky ****" but sometimes we chat about the footie or the weather. If it turns out to be a friendly table and we've got a good competitive game going (especially when we're getting close to the cash bubble) then we sometimes chat about what we had and what we folded and, of course, our worst bad beats n the past few days! I have to agree that often I will try and start a chat going and everyone ignores me but I guess some people aren't even looking at the chat box and some just want to play without interruption.

    If you're looking for lots of chat then, as loony says, the evening deep stacks are the place to go! Alternatively, find a table with one of the presenters on it and you will get more than enough chat, especially if it's Lisa-Marie!! lol

    Hi Strawman,

    We can all decide whether to chat or not, but the majority of us do. Try sitting in any Deep Stack & not chatting - it's not possible!

    Please remember that we - you, me - are as much responsible for this as anyone else. If you want to chat, & nobody else is talking, perhaps they are waiting for someone to get the banter going.

    I try basic social skills, & good manners, & it rarely fails. "Evening all" for example, which is 100 times better if you actually name some of the other players. Or mention where they live (from their field address), or how bad the weather is.

    For most of us, poker is a recrerational pasttime. We want to play a little poker, gamble a bit, pass a few hours with like-minded people. Chatting is a major part of that, but sometimes WE have to lead the way to start the chat going.

    Remember, too, that sometimers players multi-table. Playing 3 or 4 Tables & chatting is not easy.

    Hope to see you on one of my tables soon, & we can discuss trains, tractors, electricity pylons, & other fascinating stuff.

    Take care man.

    DYM is generally the land of the silent mainly due to the multi play.  I play four DYM at any one time and therefore have the chatbox closed.  As TK said, play the deepies or (as long as you are comfortable) play micro cash.  And find a presenter on a micro cash table or SnG, always tons of chat there. :)
