I know there is a similar thread about table talk, but I wanted to get everyone's opinion on basic talk or chatter. I feel that if two players are heads up on the river then it should be ok if they talk a little back and forth. Things like "Did you hit that Ace" or "Did that 7 make you a straight" are acceptable in my opinion. I am not going to let someone sit there and question a guy like the FBI or anything, but don't like giving a penalty to a guy for saying " I think you hit a flush on me". I think we are taking to much from the game of poker if we don't let them talk at all as long as it is heads up. What is everyone elses thoughts on this. Do you agree with small talk or think any talk should be a penalty? Thanks
