I watch porn on the side. Not to do anything but old habits die hard. The worst is when you have a room full of people.

We all have different ways of focusing on the game, Some concentrate with Rudio , others can not , for me, my method is relaxation , lying quietly and listening to music


Excuse my translation , I do not understand English

For me

For me I can't focus on playing poker without noise around me. I have to be watching something on TV or a series on Netflix while I am playing. If i'm not watching TV then I have to be listening to music. I am pretty sure the majority of people are completely opposite from me, but what do you guys do?

For me I have to play in more then one poker tourney to keep my self busy. or listen to music and watch tv. unless i color in a coloring book with my daughter.

I like to relax with a show or movie on the TV, read news, look at the results on the venue, or assemble a ticket betting

I prefer to play at night listening to music with headphones. I do not like playing with the TV on or something that makes you lose focus in the game.

I think the only advice I think, is to find what keeps you focused but let you concentrate much more on the table , you can not watch TV and play at the same time , you lose the sense of what happens at the table as an example

i have some really cool music i play in the background, depending on my mood. it goes from chill n calm, to rapid paced and more involved. other times i find it helpful to talk to people to keep me occupied if the game would otherwise tend to bore me. if none of the above, i just zone out and focus on my game.

maybe listen a good music, but pay attention is primordial in the game.

I usually play some music, but try to avoid texting on my phone, watching movies or tv, or other things that can make me unfocused. Sometimes I don't listen to music but its good because you are less likely to fall into tilt while listening to music, because you mood is better while listening to good music.

Too add to my comment from before ,other than upbeat dubstep, I've started to listen to classical music. Also there are some study/concentration tacks on YouTube which I like as well.

i recently decided to try and go pro so now I'm a 100 percent focused on the math of the game of poker. i never get bored because I am always trying to calculate ranges and figuring out my equity, EV, And all that good stuff. lol.

Just playing nothing more. If I do something else in between I get distracted. I concentrate lot better in silence.
