And are many options? It seems to me that standing is not particularly convenient to play even some kind of 8-hour tournament. You can, of course, still in a prone position, but I'm afraid that playing offline rivals cannot understand this! What body position do you think is better to play?

I don’t know for everyone, but it’s convenient for me to lie with a laptop, in a 5-minute break in tournaments, I walk around the apartment)

if I play while lying my brain will fade sooner. I make better decisions while sitting.

For me, the position does not matter. I play from a smartphone. Therefore, it all depends on time. During the day, I can play and do other things at the same time. In the evening, I prefer to lie in my bed. By the way, you can lie in bed in different ways. For example, lying on your stomach is more likely to not fall asleep during a long tournament What body position do you think is better to play?

I prefer sitting but make sure to take breaks as often as possible. When I play cash games I take breaks every 20 mins (walk around, make some exercises and look into distance for a few seconds). It really helps to maintain my concentration.

#7 May 17th, 2020, 9:28 PM

I have tried to play laying on my bad from my laptop or phone but it does not work well. I start to feel sleepy and loose concentration. Sitting is best.

#8 May 17th, 2020, 9:35 PM

Sitting is better for playing poker. It is the most convenient. Of course you must have a nice anatomical seat, to hold your back with the better way.

#9 May 18th, 2020, 10:45 AM

Sitting. If i lay down i am sleepy and sometimes in the middle of the game i fall a sleep. Hehe not helpfull at all.

#10 May 18th, 2020, 11:07 AM

Any little more or less significant tournament I play sitting! Sometimes when I watch boxing on TV, I play reclining on a laptop (but this is not serious)!

#11 May 18th, 2020, 3:15 PM

I think there are not many options. I think 90% of players play poker while sitting. Before you sit down, how did you play before ?

#12 May 18th, 2020, 7:15 PM

It’s convenient for me to play lying and sitting) if I get tired of sitting, I go to bed, if I get tired of lying I sit down) laptop - and play in any position))))))

#13 May 18th, 2020, 8:14 PM

Sitting.
I play in the evening. I definitely can't play while lying down. I quickly fall asleep and can oversleep the whole game))

#14 May 18th, 2020, 8:17 PM

The best position is when you hold a beer or a drink. Works well in other situations than playing poker.

#15 May 18th, 2020, 8:35 PM

you must choose body position witch is more comfortable for you. I can't play long in just one position, I change them very often if I can. But of last month best play position for me is while I'm fast walking on running mashine What body position do you think is better to play?

without poker fast walking is sooo boring

#16 May 18th, 2020, 8:42 PM

Sitting is the best body position to play poker. Definitely is the most convenient position for me!

Sorry for my english 🙂

#17 May 19th, 2020, 4:29 PM

I love poker, so I can play lying down, standing or sitting. But usually, like most players, I play sitting. What body position do you think is better to play?

#18 May 19th, 2020, 5:16 PM

Absolutely sitting .. it hadn't even occurred to me to play poker laying down until I saw this post : )

#19 May 19th, 2020, 5:31 PM

Sitting upright or standing

Sitting while slouched backwards to the max is not much better than lying down

#20 May 19th, 2020, 5:50 PM

Usualy I play poker before go to sleep. So I do it lying down. Sometimes i`m wake up and seeing that I have prize place) trifle but nice

#21 May 19th, 2020, 10:30 PM

I only play sitting, but I confess that after about 5 hours of playing I start to feel uncomfortable. I see some people playing 55 minutes standing and after the 55 minutes sitting, I haven't tried it yet to see if I feel better, but someday I will do a test to see if something changes in the performance.

#22 May 20th, 2020, 5:05 AM

Usually sitting although sometimes lying in bed with the nootbook

#23 May 20th, 2020, 6:18 AM

The best position to play poker is to sit on a chair as comfortable as possible! My favorite position is lying in bed, without good results because it takes me to sleep at some point. What body position do you think is better to play?

#24 May 20th, 2020, 10:01 PM

If you play for example - one Sit 'n' Go with 9 or less players, the position does not matter, but if you play long lasting MTT position is very important. Your body must feel good, so I recommend sitting on quality office or gaming chair. What body position do you think is better to play?

#25 May 31st, 2020, 6:22 PM

Sitting on a comfortable chair

#26 May 31st, 2020, 9:04 PM

I feel like sitting works best for me.. in general helps to keep me focused. But for sure it's quite tiring after few hours playing in any position I think

#27 May 31st, 2020, 9:18 PM

I get tired if I lie down. I have to being sitting up to last more the 2 hours.

#28 May 31st, 2020, 9:22 PM

Sitting is the most comfortable for me.. There is noway I could lay down and play because I would probably fall asleep and just blind out if I was playing in a tourney..OMG I have done that before..So thats why I make sure I don't go lay down. I have a laptop and sometimes I wanna go lay down. But I have to stay sitting because don't trust myself enough not to fall asleep again. I sit in a recliner with a small table..I have to put pillow behind me.. I wish I could afford one of those really nice chairs. Because I have a desk but my chair is not that comfy for hours of play. But the first big lick Im running to Office Depot and gonna get me a nice comfy chair..Im tired of my back hurting. What body position do you think is better to play?

#29 June 1st, 2020, 12:33 AM

I usually alternate between standing and sitting.

#30 June 9th, 2020, 5:13 AM

I usually play with a cell phone, and rarely with a computer, but both ways should be in a comfortable part, since concentration on the bad position of the body affects concentration. When resting in the lapses of the 5-minute tournaments, it is always recommended to stretch your legs, thus avoiding poor blood circulation, cramps, etc. What body position do you think is better to play?

#31 June 11th, 2020, 9:24 AM

Standing position is preferable for health. Even horizontal position in bed is better than sitting for a long time What body position do you think is better to play?

#32 August 29th, 2020, 1:23 PM

always play sitting down. but When I stand up is much better. problem is 8 hours standing up.

#33 August 29th, 2020, 1:49 PM

if you want to hold on and not get too tired after several hours of play, it is best to sit with your back straight. It is important to have a good chair and to get up during breaks to stretch or walk.

#34 August 31st, 2020, 3:03 AM

Sitting is probably the best and most comfortable, but it's important to get up and walk around during breaks. Also, maintaining a good posture in your chair and staying hydrated are helpful in avoiding negative health conditions.

Oh, and invest in a good seat cushion so you don't get hemorrhoids in an eight hour slogfest.

#35 August 31st, 2020, 10:37 AM

It all depends on the style of the poker player, if the player is aggressive, then it is profitable for him to raise the rate first, but if the player is passive, then it is clear to him that it is preferable for him to place the rate last.

#36 August 31st, 2020, 11:00 AM

I play with my smartphone, so I play in different positions. Mostly lying down. It's even more convenient. Nothing bothers

#37 August 31st, 2020, 12:02 PM

Yoga lion pose is the best in playing poker

#38 August 31st, 2020, 2:56 PM

Fetal position works well after losing your bankroll.

#39 August 31st, 2020, 3:11 PM

so far the only way cosco is sitting I have not played in another position si saben de alguna mejor me envian algun mensaje

#40 August 31st, 2020, 3:38 PM

i sit on my office desk chair, in a position that makes me feel convenient and more focused to play the tourney, and when the break starts i walk around my desk couple times.
i note that my position depends sometimes on the tourney or game i play.
GL to all, hope your positions is the reason for your win! What body position do you think is better to play?

#41 September 28th, 2020, 12:05 AM

most of time i do it on my bed (that sounds weird) but, sometimes seating on the chair

#42 October 5th, 2020, 11:31 PM

Like playing on a laptop in a recliner. It seems best for longer MTT.

#43 October 19th, 2020, 6:29 AM

I feel comfortable reclining on the bed, so that my legs are straight.

#44 October 30th, 2020, 3:03 AM

I tried playing upside down , on my inversion table, but I kept spilling my beer in my nose!

#45 October 30th, 2020, 3:24 AM

sitting, then standing up every break time

#46 October 30th, 2020, 3:31 AM

I believe that the best posture to play is sitting with an upright spine, but when I am playing on the phone, most of the time, Im in a position that is not very suitable.. 🦾🦿

#47 October 30th, 2020, 4:38 AM

sitting, I change the chair to the sofa to get better sometimes

#48 October 30th, 2020, 9:55 AM

Sitting and lying both are good.
But when you lie playing poker, your elbow will be in trouble someday.
