Q. I've seen you play live and on TV, and you always seem to be having a blast. How does talking to the other players at your table help your game? Is it just you having fun, or is it part of your poker strategy? 
A. My answer is: Both. When I started playing, it was for fun. As the years passed it became part of my poker strategy.
When I started playing both in Costa Rica and the U.S.A., poker was my hobby. Thank God I never felt the economic pressure to win. Because there was no pressure, I could think more clearly and make better choices. It's made me win and have fun at the same time.
As time passed, I started losing my fear of talking in English (if you can consider how I speak to be English...), and that made me have even more fun. At the same time, I realized that it was a useful way to get information and intimidate the other players. You have to remember that a happy and relaxed person thinks more clearly than a depressed and stressed person. In the wild the animals always attack the weak. That's the way it works in poker too.
