Grinding the online pokers, what else do you do?

Hey guys & gals,

I was just wondering what every1 else does, if anything, while they're playing poker. I like to have something to listen to while I grind. Whether it be music, netflix with family guy, hulu with Kimmel, krantz & tilt, suckoutqueen, cts, dog is head, mercenary or jack the shipper playing in the background.

I know that music can have a big influence on your mood. I used to listen to lots of above & beyond while multi tabling 45 mans. I'm crazy about music tho, I'll listen to anything aside from country. Bump hard knock Jay-z or jam out to lp into the wild its all good.

I tend to be playing at too many tables at a time so I can't do anything but try to call or fold in time.
But if I'm not, I like to listen to something like Led Zeppelin. Sometimes when I listen to Metallica I get too pumped up and raise too much and lose xD
So you have to be careful when listening to music :/

Zeppelin sounds pretty smooth. For me its just nice to have something to listen to while your playing.

Check out some funny hands I played today.

Yeah, music in the background helps. If I'm in the mood, I sometimes put on some old Western music or Robert Johnson. Very pokery.

Wow, those hands sure are funny. Some players make me think they lost their way to Miniclip and accidentally landed on their parents' poker game. I mean, cmon. Raising with a 3 4 offsuit?

I think the best companion in the background (in my case at least) is the music! ... It also has many variations as to increase / decrease your mood ... Hermetica is the most! (Heavy Metal in Spanish - Argentina) ... or some chips on the hand that does not use the mouse lol

Ohh damn, chips in hand sounds like bliss. Good idea! Also, I'm off to look at Hermetica. Never even knew it existed lol.

hehe always good to have something to distract / focus at hand, surely there will be many other things that might be useful, everything goes according to individual personalities and tastes ...

PS: Hermetica is / was the emblem of the heavy metal band in Argentina. Very nationalistic, but I doubt I can like it on, try it costs nothing to say lol ... (Malon and Almafuerte were created from their separation). Greetings!
