Online Poker Chat Ban
There are other easy ways to get your chat banned at an online poker room aside from the couple offenses mentioned above. Spamming the chat boxes with advertisements for your affiliate website or even another online poker room will get you silenced quickly. Circumventing the profanity filter is another - don't type "fcuk" or "f.uk" in place of the f-word. Everyone knows what you are saying and you are purposely skirting the poker room's rules.

Part of the fun of live poker is the social aspect of playing with others in person. While it is always nice to participate in an good conversation, be careful chatting at the poker table. Your speech could be a tell. It is quite common to see someone yapping away and then suddenly go silent when they need to concentrate. This is typically a sign of a big hand.
