How do you concentrate to play poker ?

I concentrate listening to classical music, calm me down and make me concentrate more on the game.

I act the same.
Music on, i make sure to make 2hours sports before to play so im more concentrate ( focus) on the game, even if im tired of my sports session.

just play more table to be all time focus

i watch tv series ) , help me pass the time ! sometimes it helps me , if i lose i stop watching that show , so i play more cautious and i had good results , even if i dont pay atention to players

There is no way to concentrate on the game...

Listening to music generally helps me. Other important thing is to not have too many distracting things around me.

I don't have any specific ritual, but listening to music certainly makes me calmer.
I don't have a preferred gender, I tend to vary.

In different ways, if before the tournaments, then I try to spend time with my family, surround myself with everything that I like, and if during the tournament I listen to my favorite music and it gives strength.

When I really want to be focused when I’m playing, I prefer to play in silence and in every hour I take break and go to another room and take a rest for a couple of minutes.

Well, when I have time to play, I try to leave my room well prepared for nothing. Take my concentration off.

Ani Lorak's songs used to help. I don't use music right now. Inspiration comes naturally. Although over the years, I've come to the conclusion that it all comes down to luck. If there is a map, you only need to correctly manage a good situation.

same, for cash games I listen to classical music, for free roll tournaments, Rock and roll.:icon_flow

It's complicated

I love listening to the sounds of the jungle around me, but it's not always possible... And when it does, I cover myself with music that relaxes me, but despite everything, it's damn.
Maybe it's time to record the jungle sounds and play them back to me when needed.

I always begin to play poker with a cup of coffee or some iced tea. They help me concentrate to play and I feel my actions is very clear and I can reduce my mistakes. Listening to music is also help me a bit but not much.

Headphones on my head with music that I like helps me the best, no distraction from outside world, only poker.

When I play, I watch movies. It helps me pass the time of the game. In poker, you still fold more than you call.

Hi all!

In order to concentrate on the game, it must be the only activity you are doing, you must be motivated by the desire to play and enjoy poker. Your integral health must be fine, you must rest and have clear objectives with your games.
Greetings

I think it's still a question of motivation. when you take pleasure in playing and want to win. it is easier to stay focused. I like to put a video on youtube in the background of the documentary style or other to help me stay calm and to put into perspective when I suffer a bad beat.

before the game I try to go outside get some fresh air and tune in to a game session

Before playing the game, maybe you should consider listening to podcasts it helps you a lot when approaching a game. Cardschat has a new podcast maybe you want to check it out!

To help me focus on the hand I'm playing, I will talk it out -- out loud even.
To help mask distractions, I play soothing sounds like rain, railroad sounds, forest sounds and so on.
