I used to think it was only my ex-wife coming in while I'm playing would cause me to lose, but I have some friends that when they come in and start asking how I was doing and then me start telling them what's going on, and just sure as anything I would get knocked out. 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

Its important to have support playing poker. A family (or roommate) that understands and respects what you're doing helps. You should learn some Jedi mind tricks that help you keep in the game. :ridinghor:joyman:

And please guys, NEVER blame anyone else. Spouses, kids and friends are not the enemy. Try to give them some time and attention to get some interruption free poker time..

It really is hard to focus on a game when someone or something is distracting you chances are you will loose your focus in the game that can contribute to your lost. Might as well play late at night to make sure that your mom is already asleep. But the fact that you cannot eliminate it will be really challenging, just focus your mind set on the game.

My old dogs' bladders aren't as tough as they used to be, so I spend a lot of time having to let them in or out. That can break concentration.

when I'm playing, I'm usually isolated in my office with the door closed, after one distraction can often take yous concentration, and you pass a good move

I share a desktop computer with my wife, and my son sometimes needs it to print out his school work. His schooling comes first....so does my wife.....oh, well, I guess I'll just have to play when they're in bed.
