Hoyt plays the game the way that is most efficient. He takes advantage with his stack. He reads well and seems to know where he is at. Most importantly he does not waste time talking. One of the biggest mistakes both experienced and new players make is talking at the table. NEVER talk to your opponents unless you are saying, RAISE, FOLD, CALL, or ALL-IN. Too much information is conveyed when you talk. Your mood can be gauged. Your character can be identified and potentially used against you. I can now tell whether you may be an aggressive personality or passive. The list goes on. Dewey Tomko said it best, "Keep your mouth shut." Never give your opponents an edge." Talking gives your opponents a much larger edge than you would ever imagine.
