Unreferenced date August 2008 Other uses Table talk disambiguation Table talk In certain card game s, table talk is communication by a player with another player with the cards in their hand, contrary to the rules of the game. Such communication may be through explicitly naming cards, but it is far more common to try to give hints which the opposing players will think innocent, but which will be understood by the player s partner. Two Player Table Talk In some games a player may modify the way they play in order to convey information about their hand to their partner. This is considered acceptable and is not termed table talk, even though the distinguishing line may be very fine. For instance, a 500 card game 500 player might place a bid of six no trumps to indicate that he holds the joker this would be acceptable. However, he might modify the tone of voice when making a bid to indicate to his partner that something about the bid is significant the suit, or perhaps that he does not wish to win it . Hearts In the game of Hearts card game Hearts , it is generally unacceptable to talk about the location of the queen of spades or notifying other players of someone threatening to shoot the moon .
