Is it just me or there are other online poker players who don't believe that using poker chat can distract and help us to win games? Some times i write something too, but its not like if i am worried that others read it or response to me, most of times that doesn't happen, like they don't see an answer for their comments...

I used to use chat alot, and yes its a great way to get under the skin and tilt them, but now i tend to turn chat off. But a lot of the players play multi so dont read the chat box, so I thin nowdays its doesnot work so well.
