Q: Do you believe ‘Trash Talking’ is a legitimate strategy to be used while playing poker and why?

$: I don’t consider it a legit strategy although it may work against some players who can’t tune it out.  I think its ok in a private game as long as it’s friendly jabber.  Smack talking a stranger in a live game is no bueno unless he’s ruining the game.
