You can chat in the poker forums , like bankrollmob and 1-2 other . For fun or to learn some news , learn how to play better , learn the best opportunities and offers and games being offered online at the time etc
But at the poker rooms ?? While you play ??Chat is meaningless at the poker tables most of the times . Because you have no time to chat while you play . You have 5,6 or more tables opened with games , crucial decisions to make , mistakes to avoid , to chat at the same time is very risky I would say

Some players are going to try and play with your mind or your feelings , using chat . Especially deep in a tourney , at the FT , or in a crucial very important moment, when a lot of money is at stake . So better be carefull . You can make poker friends at the tables but be carefull . Personally I have disabled chat on one poker room , I do not use it nowadays , only very rarely I might use it .

it is not right to make friends at the gaming tables, because the discussion moves to private and there a collusion can be planned. It's better to talk at tables with greetings and other things, but not friends that can put the players' accounts in danger

yes collussion is another problem at the tables . I have witnessed collussion speeches at the tables , even among players who didnt know each other before the game , because they are from the same country . I have witness this with many brazilians i have to admit lol . and if its a sng or a game with very few participants and in a regular basis we have more or less the same people , then this can be very harmfull for the inteerests of the other players , if these players get to know to each other . Then friendly poker can be witnessed among these fellows . one helping the other with theirn bets , to manipulate RNG better or try to fool other players , scare them out of the the hand .

when I was much more in poker, I know that I could read lot of different and bad things at chat, but thats part of poker and we all know that this will be on tables! even in live poker you have lot of things, so how now to have on online poker, esepecially with young players and new generations that dont care about anything!
