chat on or off?

I have mine completely off ... I can't stand the chatter around tables 90% of the time. Anybody else turn the chat off or does this make me a pussy?

pussy

holy shit you are pussy

damn! I knew it! I can't handle it dude! The chat is so stupid and it distracts me from the game ... guess I need to get the sand out of the v, suck it up and turn chat back on. :)

edit: oh yeah, and I can't fucking stand the constant "nh" "ty" exchanges

Usually playing 3 or 4 tables of 6 max so I turn it off as I'm pretty busy with that.

It's a great point ... I'm curious if your history (or you remember) what chatter up to this point lead you to that conclusion.

the chat is indeed mostly stupid

either theyre talking about how and why they played the hand or theyre hotting on guys with hot chicks for their icon
