I haven't used chat for that sort of stuff for almost a year - those were both in the last couple of days and now I'll probably stop doing it for another year
I don't know.
I don't think I ever saw someone do that who didn't have a really strong hand. Players usually are more talkative if they have a big hand than if they have nothing. Many people are so tensed when pulling off a bluff, especially live that they don't dare to say anything.
There was a recent article in Card Player magazine about this. The author called it an infallible tell when someone started throwing out "educated guesses" as to what strong hand his opponent might have. It means the talker has the nuts and wants a call.

Bottom line, don't do that.
