In poker game, silence is more preferable but little talks here and there can lighten the mood. But inceasant remarks and making silly comments is wrong and can affects the concentration of the players. Talking incessantly during poker games is consider lack of manner and may resuit in some punishment.
 
Over-talking during a poker game can distract other players and make them lack concentration. Light talk from time to time may be acceptable. However, excessive talk and jokes can be ill-mannered at the table. So, it is unacceptable.
 
What are casino rules on talking? How much do they allow? Do they allow it at all?
 
If a player is making a tough decision, and the table starts chatting. I think that's bad poker etiquette.
 
It’s true that maintaining good etiquette during a poker game is essential for preserving the focus and enjoyment of all players. While occasional light remarks can break the ice and lighten the mood, excessive chatter or inappropriate comments disrupt the atmosphere and can negatively affect concentration. In poker, silence is often golden, enabling players to fully engage with the game and make thoughtful decisions. Respect for others at the table should always guide behavior, and it’s important to be mindful of how actions, such as incessant talking, might impact those around you. A well-balanced approach—combining respect and light engagement—helps create a positive playing environment for everyone involved.
 
How do casinos handle the problem? Do they encourage or discourage the problem? I'm thinking they encourage talking to some degree, but I could be wrong.
