Things that distract you when playing poker

It seems to be happening to everyone.

Deep in a tourney or session something distracts you from playing.

It may be the girlfriend wanting something, a phone call, the TV, the cat/dog,neighbor or the

internet or something completely different ?

What do you vote for ?

Borgata cocktail waitresses and the alcohol they serve!:rock:

My husband knows generally not to bother me when I'm involved in a tournament, but we once got into a major yelling, cursing, throwing things fight just after I'd started an SNG -- but I kept playing (I'm a good multitasker ) and went on to win the thing, LOL.

This forum and others, friends, and watching movies/TV shows on the Internet are generally my distractions. Although I only play 2 tables max at a time, so it isn't that bad.

Too many of those.

Interesting first post...

Well their are lots of things that can distract you. like osmeone talking to you.

Worst thing ever is when my connection gets sporadic. Surefire way to wind up tilting, worse than 10 cracked aces in a row.

Pr0n

Cake is always a distraction, even in live tourneys.

Damn that cake.

my problem usually is doning other tasks besides just many tables- myspace is a bad one- always looking for new friends for my band- and which usually leads to my computer freezin up and my long awaited AA getting folded on me

Wife is probably the worst then I would say outside people with phone calls prmarillary friends asking random stuff just enough for me to push on t=something that goes wrong. I also think it is eay to blame it on somesomething as a coinencedence when it happens and seems like thay was the problem. I tprobably would have happened anyway.

the bigest one for me is trying to talk on the phone while playing a game..all the times that I recall getting a phone call while playing I somehow get crushed...I think its a curse...I hate phones..that and kids yelling at me while im playing...need some duct tape for them.

lol, this poll is a lot more even than i thought it would be.
