Default Re: Sign Language at the Table - Nitty?

Haha, i'm hard of hearing, and although i don't sign very well (i'm currently taking classes, but i don't need to sign since i do very well with hearing aids), my take on this would be that, as long as they aren't doing it when both are in the hand, it's fine. they can't talk to anyone else, so who are they supposed to talk to when playing poker? if they have a friend they brought along, that's who they are going to want to talk with. that's no different than you talking with your friend about the latest sports game, or what you two think another player had last hand.

sure, they could be telling each other what they had, but as long as it's not high stakes and it doesn't look like they're cheating, let it slide. it's hard enough for deaf people to communicate as it is.
