When facing an overly friendly or chatty opponent, stay focused on your own game. While their behavior may be intended to distract, respond politely but briefly, keeping conversations to a minimum. Maintain your concentration to avoid giving away information through reactions or body language, and focus on reading their play rather than their words.

It's important to remember that in poker, staying focused on the game is crucial, especially when facing an opponent who is overly friendly or chatty. While their behavior may be a tactic to distract you or gather information, it's essential to stay composed and not let it affect your own decision-making process.
Engaging in polite conversation is fine, but keeping it minimal can help you maintain your concentration and not give away any information through reactions or body language. Remember that your primary goal is to read your opponent's play rather than their words, so maintaining focus on the game at hand is key.
By staying focused on your own strategy, you can better navigate the game and make more informed decisions, regardless of your opponent's attempts to disrupt your concentration. Just stay calm, polite, and keep your eyes on the prize – playing your best poker game.
