What do you do while playing online poker?

[NicoVlopez]

I'm lately trying to play when I have less distractions nearby. I put some jazzy music to concentrate and try to pay attention to the tables. Im trying to ger into it seriously but its didficult to keep focus all the time

 

[DamocValentin]

I usually liste to music, or watch Daniel Negreanu playing. Also i used to play League of legenda or watch a movie in the same time )

 

[evgd23]

I am only busy with the game. Everything else interferes with playing and thinking..

 

[Pokerishard]

I just listen music......not another actity...i like to be 100 % focus on the game..

I usually just listen to music. But sometimes when I'm playing the family will command my attention. Diaper changes, taking the dog out, helping my wife with whatever, etc. Lol I try to not be distracted but with a house full of family it's hard not to be distracted sometimes. I find I play my best later at night when everyone is heading to bed but I also have to wake up at 5:30 am. So staying up to play can be a struggle as well sometimes.

what am i doing

I put a laptop before me, smoke cigarettes and relax

If I play online I sometimes watch a movie at the same time. You don't always have playable hands. In live poker I listen to music.

Music or tv or read.

Almost always listening to some study music and reading forums.

In the most of time i train my cardistry skills... Makes sense to me train my card skills while playing poker XD

 

[Fyponylli]

I usually either draw, eat, get up and start vacuuming around in the room if I've been sitting in front of the screen too long

 

[scofield1985]

But what to do when you play and want to sleep? But you need to finish the tournament!

 

[mardi1987]

For the 1000 online tournaments I played so far. there were also bathing children, eating, drinking even playing a video game. But mostly coffee, cigarettes, music and someone drinks alcohol or not.

 

[SharkyJohn]

I used to listen to music, or watch YT videos while playing, but it's unposible if there's more than 4 tables.
About music... there is certain type of music that is good for playing poker, such as classic, pop, alternative, rnb but all of these should be really calm and almost unnoticed, just to stay focused on the game😁😁😁

As most of you guys suggest, poker needs full concentration.

If this was the case, nobody would ever multitable. But, everyone that is serious about playing poker online multitables.

That being said, I rarely multitable, but I usually have the TV on in the background or some music. Last night I had the Rick and Morty stream going. Today it's House M.D.

I find at the level I play at, most of the fish are fairly unpredictable anyway. I only really start to pay attention when I get close to a final table.

Who makes you finish the tournament? Do you want to sleep? Go to sleep! The tournament will end without you. Your chips will go to others. This is not the worst thing in life.

But what to do when you are playing and you want to sleep? But you need to finish the tournament!

Poker

Watch TV, listen to music. Sometimes I eat and drink. Also smoke. I drink coffee. In the intervals watch forum or other sites. I like to play poker in a hot tub with a glass of wine. Always different, although it is better not to do, to play in peace and focus. So I did not learn.

 

[Sdub2020]

I try to focus on games on especially while multi tabling. Sometimes watch poker on tv while playing. Listen to music and try not to get distracted.
