Does Anyone Distract You While You're Playing?

It depends a lot if the person is very funny and keeps making fun at the table, I unlock yes.

Many factors detract from the game.
Sometimes play other games - not gambling... That too much of a distraction from poker))

Always someone is there to distract always. Sometimes it's soo anoying that i almost smack that person in the head with Pc.

Yep like the above doesn't matter whom it is. IF they come to the house or try to talk to me when I play I lose concentration and lose focus

No one distract me, if it was maybe i ignore it or play somewhere, where you be one

Well I know the feeling somebody calls you or asks you for your help and your good mood/spirit /relaxation feelings are gone and you start to loose.. ? Well thats not good.. it helps to let the people know what you are about to do and that you dont wish to be disturbed.. or if you dont feel like telling the truth and you are opened with parents you can pretend that you are watching some adult movie for instance

It is normally quiet at my home. Until I play online, then it seems as if I am the center of attention with anyone and everyone asking questions, just wanting to talk, or asking my opinion about things. When I am not playing, it seems no one is interested in my opinions at all. hahahahahahaha

So it's not the person, but it's anything that breaks your concentration that will cause you to make bad moves and lose. GL to you

Nobody can play at their best unless they have total concertration towards the game. Especially when multitabling.

I take it as a challenge when playing online at home...TV, wife, dog, and playing multiple games. I think it works the mind better than just focusing on one game. But in reality, the way I play it may not make that much of a difference.

hope this helps

I don't like it quiet but having people talking to you face to face or phone calls is totally distracting. I have the TV going or music. That helps me keep my composure on the tables. Id play while she is sleeping or gone if she constantly distracts you. I hope this helps.

me cats and dogs always want to block my view of the screen or distract me!

My small brother always distract me. He climbs directly into the monitor, and constantly tries to push the buttons.

I always lose for this reason. Sometimes it is the wife, sometimes the other people end up messing up the plays, especially in the long tournaments. If I played in my teens it would be much better hahahah

I love play poker alone so i try to play when my family member they are go out or generally midnights.

Distractions.

Every day when I play I am distracted many things playing online, because the environment makes that happen, the echo that someone turns on the radio or that comes to speak me while I play, my father in ocaciones or someone that just rings the bell in the house, until Sometimes the noise of cars when passing with the music very loud, many issues there are that make one distract at least in my case

Hey there! I have this same problem but what i just started doing is using headphones that cover your ear. It helped me so i thought id share .. good luck!

Ps. It wont stop when people actually come to talk obviously but it does well with the rest 👍

you have to be patient and quick minded>

I don't have wife kids for the time being , so noonne distacts me when I play poker . Also , I don''t have any pets , dog, cat , although I look forward to get one . I only have a canary it can't cause me trouble , at nights it sleeps in another room so I don't bother it

I do not have these problems, put the headphones let soft music

I hate when I'm distracting from the game.
I need full concentration

Friends distract me very often from a poker game.

I'm always being distracted by people when I'm playing. It's highly irritating because they think I can just drop everything and stop (when I'm in a tourney). Which is why I try to play more cash games, and shorter sit n' go's while listening to music in my room upstairs.

sometimes i can get distracted by not just people but I get caught up in doing other things besides focusing on the game

Sometimes my sister distracts me a little.

****tail girls always distract me.

I like to play online in quiet rooms with music on and only when i have a window of time with nothing going on. It limits distractions and lets me play at ease. otherwise tell mom your crushing souls and can't help
