I was playing in a live tourney couple days ago at my local casino, won't go into details about the hand pretty standard x/c x/c then I checked on river, guy made a pretty small bet and I was faced with a decision. I made a comment saying 'that's a pretty small bet, you value betting top pair? I can't beat that' and the dealer told me I wasn't allowed to talk during a hand even though it was me the decision was on. Is this normal? I've been out of the live game for a while, so can't really remember if this is actually allowed or not, thought it was interesting though.
I mean i'm no Will Kassouf but I like to talk at the table, socialise a little etc maybe try and get a tell or 2 as well, surely it should be allowed?
If it was the other way around, other guy had a decision to make and I was talking during it then yeah that makes sense I guess?
