Play poker while watching a movie

[rech294]

I particularly like to play poker, whether on any platform while watching a movie. Since it's generally a bit slow game, then a movie or series goes really well, so I don't even see the time going by.

I think for better focus is not a good idea, listening to music could be better in my opinion. But i think some people can do more tasks and focus everywhere.

 

[RustyRed83]

Yes, it is something I often do as well. Sometimes maybe for background noise, but more often than not, to ease the boredom of poker.

 

[odonob]

Yes, watching tv. I do find the time banks are too long on most sites, really slows the game down.

You have to be able to do both things at the same time, but I prefer to play focused and pay as much attention as possible to what the players are doing at the table, even when they are out of the hand, I think that any distraction can lead you to miss out on good decision making.

I just play in silence until the game is over but there is nothing wrong with having a little background noise to balance time.

I am a person who loves to watch movies and series. In this case the answer is no. When I play poker I can't watch a movie because I lose the quality of my game. And I would also miss the movie that I don't like either.

How well can you refocus? For me it's best to pay attention and focus on my game and play.

 

[Flower2211]

Yes, I also get annoyed by long tournaments and I can either listen to music at the time or watch videos on YouTube.

I enjoy watching movies sometimes when playing online. If I need to give extra concentration to the game? Well that is what the pause buttons are for. At least for me, if I concentrate on any single thing constantly it tires my mind.

I’ll definitely multi task so I can feel productive

While playing I can either listen to music or listen to the news. I can't imagine how you can watch, just watch a movie and play poker, because you simply don't see how your opponents play. I usually play more than two tables, three or even four, so there is no time left to watch, only to listen

Add tables instead if you are a serious player.

If you just want to relax and/or have fun: do whatever you want but don't expect to get better or earn more money.

In my opinion, this is not a very serious relation to the game
It is better to play with concentration and follow the actions of your opponents, but if for you poker is entertainment and your results and money are not of fundamental importance to you, then I think it is not a problem. A few years ago, I read a post by one of our members who proudly boasted that he plays poker while driving...

بFor me, I prefer listening to music on television, as it may distract me

 

[ninocabral]

Sometimes I do this too, but only when there is only one screen left for me to play, if I have at least 2 screens open then I no longer watch anything and only pay attention to the game

I do not think it's a good idea. Poker requires focus. Watching movies for me also requires focus. Generally, both experiences will be impaired. I prefer something that only requires my hearing. I usually listen to music and sometimes analysis/news about the cryptocurrency market.

 

[LUKADONCICMVP]

yes it´s good idea to watch something on side cause sometimes so slow tables

 

[WrongUsername]

always a great idea but sometimes u lose the focus on the game

The scale of its influence is very large, but the main property of films is the ability to change a person’s mood.

 

[AndyFio]

I can sometimes play in parallel with watching a movie, as well as watching various TV shows.

 

[louuu19]

watching while playing is distracting but i tend to do it when i'm bored

 

[Arthurinacio17a]

I always like to watch while I'm playing

 

[dzsire]

I do exactly that in most cases. Something is running on the TV and meanwhile the poker can be played. Thanks to this, there are films from which I know entire dialogues by heart. Of course, this only works for 1-2 tables at the hobby level.

It's better not to take risks.
