ADD?? (attention deficite disorder)
This is also one of the problems I seem to have. I get into a tournament quite a ways and seem to lose focus. Any tips? I'm makeing some reaaly stupid mistakes! And it's not just losing against better players deep in the tournaments. I could be much more successful if I could figure this one out!

I reeeeealy did not mean to offend anyone with that post!! It really wasn't meant to be a joke. I am seriously looking for some advice on how to keep focused deep in tournaments. I also have three nephews with ADD. So, can anyone give me some advice on the main point of the inquiry? And, again I's sorry if I offended anone. That's just not me!

I have ADD and it's very hard to stay focused in long tournaments. I take adderall which helps, but just makes me talk more....lol
I've never tried it, but I see many pros with the ipods. Maybe that will help. |

I don't take it on my days off though and that is when I mostly play poker. |

for some reason i don't have a problem staying focused. i guess being a single father has taught me some patience. i do have some simple things that i do that keeps me calm and keeps my mind from wandering.
i will chew sunflower seeds. this keeps me busy while not having to think about doing it. if you don't listen to music while you play, you should try it. i find that bands like pink floyd does the trick for me. nothing to heavy and nothing to soft that will put you to sleep. |

Focus on the good hands. Play ONLY 1 tourney at a time - if you play 3, your attention may be taken up more completely, but you will not keep track of each tournament individually. Fold bad hands - try to play hands on a 'point' system. Assign points for each card, and set a general limit about folding anything below point total, unless certain combinations such as pocket pairs (IE: Face cards = 10, Number = Number, Ace = 11. Only play 20 points +. But that's not too good of a system lol.)

Double edged sword solution.
I often have a side game up. Tetris like, it happens to be called Jewel Quest. A fast game and often I can pull a whole game off between hands. It serves 2 purposes; 1 It keeps my mind occupied while I sit through hand after hand of perfectly foldable cards. 2 It keeps me from being a bit too adventurous with less than very nice cards. On the other edge of that sword is that when the good cards do show up, I haven't got the reads I would have had I paid attention. Or I get more into the side game than I am into the poker game and guess which one suffers? |

I agree with this kind of herbs much more than the herb suggested first, being a recovered addict.
