I hate to sound like an "Old Fogy", but...Them "young-ins" now-a-days talk too much! Listen to the stories Doyle & Slim would tell of playing in the old days, most of these "kids" would have been shot! Phil Hellmuth & Mike Matuzow wouldn't make it past their first BB!
Players in the last few years have danced all around & over this rule. Daniel Negreanu & a few others have incorporated into their game, which is probably is why he "wouldn't let it go". These players will talk openly about past hands to see if they can get them to open up & expose themselves.
The other problem is these "pros" play in too many informal events & have gotten used to how they chat while playing in them.
Now if they want to chat about "anything", well these players can set-up their own event. Call it "The All Talk Challenge"...rules are simple, if you don't talk, you get a penalty. This could be the start of a "all talk" league. They could have a "Mike the Mouth" open, in which if you don't toss a "F" bomb every 10 mins or insult another player's play, you get a 10 min penalty...
It would make for great TV!
