"Talking is absolutely one of the biggest giveaways in poker. Only the most experienced of players can babble away without giving away something up, and then only if talking is his or her strategy. There are players who can talk others out of their game --- get so off stride, distracted and frustrated that they practically go tilt. (Paul Newman in The Sting is a classic example). There are others who deliberately bait other players, criticize their play or even bring up religion and politics to annoy others to the point that they can't concentrate. Try remembering tells while some yahoo starts ranting about various conspiracies or whatever controversy."
I'm an introvert so I don't talk that much. Is it too much to expect others to stop chattering when I'm in the middle of a big hand?
