Talking at the Poker Table
Talking at the tables: Does it help or hurt? Table talk has been debated back and forth for as long as I can remember. It can be used as a method to extract information from your opponent when used correctly along with razor sharp instincts. We see top professional poker players like Phil Hellmuth, Dan Negreanu, and Joe Hachem employ this controversial tactic quite often with documented success. The amazing thing about it is that there opponents, much too there chagrin, indulge them in conversation knowing it could lead to there own demise. Over and over again I have seen player after player give away far too much information during a tournament in what appeared to be an innocent conversation only to have it used against them later in the hand or tourney.
