Talking smack does work. I don't like to hear it nor giveth but it does work. If at the cash tables, may not work as well as say an mtt. Just get up and leave, but if that person is having a streak from hell then it may be worth a try for you to do.

Not a fan of talking chit, hate to have to when others do so to me. Then it carries on and you accidentally end up talking chit to a player who is nice or friendly. That sucks and not worth the money to me. All the pros do it.
