Do you prefer to eat while playing poker, or not?

#1 January 12th, 2021, 8:25 PM

I don't eat while playing poker. I like to eat while watching some interesting internet videos.

#2 January 12th, 2021, 8:31 PM

Sometimes I have to eat while playing poker. If the tournament drags on for more than 4 hours, there is no exit. On a break, I take something quick and eat during the game.

#3 January 12th, 2021, 8:34 PM

Yes, but sometimes it's time to order food at home, and when not there, wait no more. Do you prefer to eat while playing poker, or not?

#4 January 12th, 2021, 8:40 PM

Sometimes the tourney is long, so I eat playing.

#5 January 12th, 2021, 9:37 PM

I like to eat when I play poker. This does not distract me. Especially if I am progressing a lot to the final stages of a tournament I always get some food in front of my laptop while I am playing.

#6 January 13th, 2021, 4:07 AM

Normally I don't eat when I am playing, I just drink something. But if I feel I am so hungry and can't stand anymore I will eat a small cake or some fruit like banana or apple.

Usually have my dinner whilst playing on Sundays as there is so much poker to play :-)

#8 January 13th, 2021, 10:51 PM

If a long tournament, I will grab snacks on a break, sure.

#9 January 14th, 2021, 6:47 PM

I prefer coffee or tea with sweets when I play poker.

#10 January 14th, 2021, 7:45 PM

Only if the tournament is very long, like more than 5-6 hours. But most of the times when I’m playing poker, I completely forget to eat.

#11 January 14th, 2021, 7:50 PM

I really like snacking while playing poker

#12 January 14th, 2021, 8:58 PM

No, I eat during 5-minute breaks Do you prefer to eat while playing poker, or not?

#13 January 14th, 2021, 9:00 PM

over the years, i got used to reheat food in 5 minutes during a break, and to wash the dishes in an hour on the next break

#14 January 14th, 2021, 9:32 PM

Rarely eat lunch or dinner while playing poker. I drink coffee and eat things like snacks or fruits.

#15 January 14th, 2021, 10:04 PM

No, I don�t eat a big meal during poker. I just sometimes eat snacks.

#16 January 14th, 2021, 10:22 PM

Normally just water, if so it is nothing substantial.

#17 January 15th, 2021, 12:00 AM

In the casino I only eat during breaks, online I am always snacking. No alcohol unless I am playing with friends.

#18 January 15th, 2021, 12:27 AM

No, because it is annoying and because it is distracting. Better eat before the game! Water is welcome while playing!

#19 January 15th, 2021, 12:46 AM

well I always wait for the 5 minute break long enough to eat Do you prefer to eat while playing poker, or not?

#20 January 15th, 2021, 12:55 AM

No, I don't usually eat while I play poker.

#21 January 15th, 2021, 12:57 AM

Since I'm addicted to chocolate, I always have sweets by my side and some snacks. It happened to me a couple of times that I had dinner while I was playing, because the tournament lasted a very long time.

#22 January 15th, 2021, 1:10 AM

Sometimes the tournament goes on for a long time and it is necessary to eat, but in general I drink tea every hour)

#23 January 15th, 2021, 1:46 AM

It is not very pleasant, but it is necessary. One of the worst things is to play poker hungry, thirsty, sleepy, it takes our concentration away.

#24 January 15th, 2021, 1:58 AM

I don't like it, but sometimes there is no choice ... and when I'm hungry, I eat while playing. 🍲

#25 January 15th, 2021, 2:59 AM

I rarely eat during online games. Snack during the break. I never eat during a live game. Get up and take a break. Also, I don't like when another player eats something (like a greasy fry) and then picks up his cards. So, I don't want to be 'that guy'.

#26 January 15th, 2021, 3:30 PM

I eat when I'm hungry.I don't wait for the break during the game because that's when I get out of the game, I make very bad decisions when I'm hungry! Do you prefer to eat while playing poker, or not?

#27 January 15th, 2021, 4:05 PM

I always eat at the computer)))))

#28 January 15th, 2021, 4:09 PM

always

#29 January 15th, 2021, 4:45 PM

LOL sure =)

#30 January 15th, 2021, 4:52 PM

I don't like to eat while playing poker. It gets in the way.

#31 January 15th, 2021, 5:54 PM

I don't like to eat when I'm playing poker, it makes me defocus a few times. Prefio eat in intervals

#32 January 15th, 2021, 5:57 PM

Yes, if you are hungry or during a break when I watch a video I eat)

#33 January 15th, 2021, 7:05 PM

Hi.
If I am hungry, then I can take a sandwich to eat during the game. I do not see anything wrong with that. But usually during the game I can drink two or three cups of coffee and that's enough for me.
Good luck.

Exactly the same! I do not like to eat during the poker game, it is really disturbs me but I really like when watching movies or something in you tube.

#35 January 15th, 2021, 8:38 PM

Sometimes I eat at the edge of a poker tournament

During the game, I try to be focused and not be distracted. But if I'm hungry, then I will eat, during the game, or during a break, it doesn't matter.

#37 January 15th, 2021, 10:07 PM

i always prefer to eat . otherwise i wouldnt be fat lol

#38 January 15th, 2021, 11:17 PM

I eat if I'm hungry playing internet poker. If it's live i would take a break and go eat, then go back to playing.

#39 January 15th, 2021, 11:23 PM

It's not that I prefer to eat while I play. But if I am in a tournament that lasts a long time and it is time to eat then I take advantage of the break to go and prepare something to eat. in my case, eating while playing does not affect concentration.

#40 January 16th, 2021, 12:10 AM

No, I don't like to eat during poker. This makes it difficult to focus on the game. For this case, I allocate a 5-minute break in the tournament.

#41 January 16th, 2021, 12:24 AM

i eat two hours before, so i am more focused

#42 January 16th, 2021, 12:39 AM

I don't normally eat whilst I'm playing poker unless the game has dragged on for hours on end than I will find myself hungry. Thank goodness there is that 5 minute break every hour.

#43 January 16th, 2021, 2:13 AM

Only when I'm hungry.

#44 January 16th, 2021, 2:35 AM

I can't say I 'prefer' to eat at my PC by playing poker but I have to. Hard to take a snack in just 5 minutes during MTT breaks.

#45 January 16th, 2021, 2:43 AM

I also don't like to eat while I play, but I drink coffee when I have a bottle.

#46 January 16th, 2021, 12:41 PM

Play and eating are not interconnected for me. But if you play for many hours in a row, then you have to think about snacking. Do you prefer to eat while playing poker, or not?

#47 January 16th, 2021, 10:37 PM

I have a meal before the start of the game or after, during a tournament this is not the best idea.

#48 January 17th, 2021, 3:13 AM

I like to eat while playing. I especially like to eat beer with baked sausages. Do you prefer to eat while playing poker, or not?

#49 January 17th, 2021, 3:18 AM

I am usually on a liquid diet (Vodka) when I play.

#50 January 17th, 2021, 3:50 AM

I always drink coffee or tea) with something tasty
