Keeping my mouth shut

[chillywater8]

I've only been playing Live poker for a few weeks now(regularly) with the new 1/2 game here in FL and have noticed I am talking strategy way to much at the table. Been getting caught up in conversations that give my play away ect...I really need to stop it, is a bit impulsive I think. I already bring sunglasses and a ipod and will use them more think. I'm also going to bring a small card protector that has significance to me and will hopefully remind me to stfu. I'd appreciate any comments on how others fell about table banter. My yap cost me $ again yesterday. It's nice to meet people and stuff but it is costing me $. I have to find a better balance.
