Table Trash Talk

Nasty... but he's spot on.

Hi Guys (and Girls),

I've been noticing lately that there is an ever increasing amount of trash talk becoming among us regular players at certain events.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a bit of freindly banter, but agressive trash talking, personal insults on the hands previous played, such as "how could you play K2 with a A on the flop!" I believe that it is not acceptable at the table. especially when your not in the hand and calling an the play.

I have on some occasions spoken up in defence of some players, telling the offender to back down, only to get flamed myself.

and i dont believe its in the spirit of the game to have to call over your TD and make a spectacle of the situation, so how bout we all grow up and stop this before it gets out of hand?

VERSION TWO


So find me the rule that applies- in the NPL rule Book

table talk / trash talk all part of the game-- what does Hellmuth do - sportsmanship.

The crowd should respect the players playing

In the game of Tennis--
Tennis has a crowd silience rule as if affects the play/ers involved
Cricket/ Football has a free for all as its a team game.--Crowd comment part of the entertainment.
Chess not a mouse is heard.

So this I like /dont like should Table Trash Talk debate is just part of this Fine Game

if you cant play the cards ....baffle them with ' b sh*t .. some serious players cant handle the pressure or the banter eg JB

so there Yoderish hey


Bluff /reads/tells between players involved is a factor in this fine game
-- A stare down to me is a non verbal NOT TALKING vs a spoken comment. TALKING'TRASH TALKING.'
look the camera in the eye. if you dare !!

i reckon trash talk is alright, its normally in the heat of the moment anyway when a donkey beats u runner runner whatever but if it is constant i reckon the TD should be called over to sort the issue out, thats part of there job to make the tourney run smoothly
