How not to go crazy

Ok were all poker players and weve all been in a ton of freerolls..right..now playing in a freeroll we all have to deal with crazy people playing very dumb with no respect for the game..so what are things to do to keep our minds entertained for a while so we can play super tight till the donks slow there role or get booted out the game..Iv tryed everything from music to throwing a tennis ball aginst the wall and even making up weird little games to play with what ever object I have close to me at the time..wish my girl would have @#$ with me while I play but then Id just want to keep on doing that and say to hell with the game

When I micro grind in the ring games to keep MY mind busy while waiting out ULTRA premiums to play I play SEVERAL tables at once. So maybe you could try playing more than 1 tourney at a time. Sometimes thats a bad idea too...but if they're all freerolls it shouldn't matter too much. I wouldn't advise it in a cash tourney though.

I surf the web and watch t.v. while I play freerolls.

So many threads about this, must be a real problem. If you have so hard time wih freeroll donks, don't go there, you will be much better off playing a cash game for same time.

Yeah Iv tried playing a few tables at a time but most times its to much for me to handle..and Ill make a bet on the wrong table by mistake..but Iv noticed that playen in one tourney and one limit game is not so bad and its helping me out...so far..ty for your advice

Music does it for me, but I guess it's each to their own.

Try watching TV, stick a film on or something. Or just discipline yourself to sit there and watch the screen as the donks drop out like flies
