do you play when "bored'?

Do u ever get online n not much happening and decide to play cause u r bored?
Well DON'T!
Playing just cause ur bored will never bring a winner n will have u asking yourself "what the heck was i thinking" Attitude and your mindset is so very important-- You have to have ur head in right place, be focused! I have found that I play my best when i am in the mood to play--- have computer set with all i need: beverage, notebook (* to keep notes in case site doesnt offer that option) chips-to keep hands busy n keep me from playing too many hands.
Mindset is important -- You want to sit at table with a good attitude, a winning attitude.
Next blog will be about taking notes and why everyone should!
Until then may ur head be in good poker place and may your hands hold up!

actually absolute opposite When I am starting to get bored while I play poker I quit poker When I am bored when I dont play, I usually listen music, watch movies or porn

playing poker is the thing i turn to when im bored.

i play when im bored, drunk, hungover, and any other mindstate.

never took any notes my whole life on poker, and dont plan to.

It depend.Some time I was in bad mood.then I just play four fun.Mostly I would play freeroll.And when I am in good mood,I would take poker seriously,and play realy money investing game.

i dont play when i am bored

taking notes ? i didn't know there was a test at the end lol .

i always play when bored

My poker playing is what I do everyday to not be bored. I play 8 to 10 hours a day, just about everyday. What can I say, I just love playing. I don't have to be playing for mega dollars to get a thrill.

Never, poker takes away the boredom of me!

Poker is a great way to get un-bored. Most people need a kick if they are bored and poker is a great way to get it. Therefore, I disagree that you should never play when you are bored. I think it's fine....

LOL , i am doing this right now .. )))

If I'm bored, sometimes I'll play, other times I'll work out or watch poker/sports.

If you are playing for’fun’ then it’s a good way to eliminate boredom.
If you are serious about your game....never!

I play when im bored not bored happy sad, im never bored though when im at a table(s) Its a personal preference I think. Some people probably will not play when they are bored cause they arnt as focused but its up to you decide when you play at your best

If I play poker when I'm bored it is usually 5 card play money on poker stars.

Yeahh , i sure do play when im bored . Im not an out goin person so i staay at home , watch tv , excercise , yoga , weekends tennis , but Poker whenever i feel like bored . I dont play to WIn , i play becuse i love to play . It will be good to win , but thts not my main motto , i'll defninitely put up a fight , nd thats it . winnin sure feels good

when im bored and i start playing poker boredom stops right there, but sometimes i just get tired of playing poker, specially large field FR and i cant play anymore and then get bored because i cant play, cant sleep, dunno what to do so i watch poker vids...

I never play when im bored and sleepy....think it would hurt my game a lot....mainly sleep but being bored can cause you to spew

I prefer not play poker when I'm bored, I'll watch a movie, a tv serie, surf the internet, to play poker I have to be totally focused.

I think it depends a lot on your own definition of bored, and if playing a session when bored really gains your focus and interest.

Of course, if you're good enough and play games that you can kind of autopilot a bit in, you could certainly be making a good decision to play bored (more winning volume than you otherwise would have), but I would imagine that playing when bored often means uninterested for many players and can be a bad thing for plenty.

I personally play poker when I want to, so I wouldn't call it boredom. I don't think I've been bored in years, though my definition growing up was always "I don't know what to do, I'm so bored." There's always something to do these days, work, sleep, exercise, games, television, sports, dogs, friends, girlfriend, food, other hobbies. If anything, there's usually a stack of things I'd like to get to that I never do (many, many books and movies).

I have logged onto a room before out of boredom, as silly as it sounds, I sit at a table and play, then I leave as soon as I am ahead, even if I win the blinds.

Then I move onto another site and do the same. silly, I know.

It is a huge mistake to be bored and play cards... It wrecks your game... And when you lose... Your boredom turns to frustration... And frustration leads to anger... And anger leads to tilt... And BOOM... bankroll gone along with your pride...

Personally my boredom goes away when I boot up a table because poker is super interesting and exciting lol

I thought people played poker to keep the boredom away? I mean, I get bored after playing hours upon hours and not go deep in any tournies, but I usually stop after a while.

I play micro cash games usually for about 1-2 hours a session and that's it for me. I cant think of going any longer than that or I would be very bored at that point.

The more I understand various strategies the less bored I get. Sometimes it's entertaining to play a fish, cause ya never know what the hell they might
