[b]Multi-Tasking at it's Finest (or Worst depending who you ask)[/b]

I know lots will think I am nuts but I do anything and everything while playing poker...

If I am playing on a weekday, since I work from home, I have a second monitor that I play on while I work. Typically, if it is only one or two games running I just work and play simultaneously. If there are 3 or more games that pop up then I take a break from work and focus on all the games. All of this with music blasting in the background.

When I play in the evenings or on weekends it gets a bit more tricky because I am trying to take care of my family (cook, clean, etc) while I am sometimes in a tourney so the laptop just moves around the house with me as I go and I make sure all my notifications are as loud as can be.

I will admit that doesn't always make for the best game play but if I don't find other ways to occupy myself, I get really impatient and make dumb bets/calls.

However, I'm not a complete idiot and if the prize pool is a really good one or I'm close to a paid position I really focus on my table and how everyone else is playing. Once it gets down to a few tables remaining I will open all the other tables to just watch so I can see how they play in case I get moved to their table.

Haha, well that's my long winded answer!
