can you share the attention of poker with other things?

I think you can not divide the game's attention with anything. Because ? good for many things are difficult if you have attention to each of them, imagine in poker. there you need to make quick decisions that can influence the whole game.
so I do not think I can divide the attention.
and you managed to do that and still manage to win something?

I divide attention, but with simple things that do not affect my game a lot, unfortunately sometimes I have no option and I end up having to pay more attention to other activities.

Playing one or two tables with few distractions is manageable. Any more tables than that, it is little chaotic which suffers the performance.

in live poker you have to keep concentration and pay attention to your opponent, not in online poker anymore, because they are randomly drawn cards and do not think reliable.

Hi.
I always try to be as concentrated as possible during the game, and not to be distracted by trifles. For the time being I have not won a lot of money, but I am pleased that I did not lose much. For me this is an achievement.
Good luck.

When I play poker, I just listen to music, nothing else. And then I'm not sure until the end, how much music interferes or does not interfere.

I get really annoyed when my bf talks to me or tries to catch my eye.

Usually, when I am distracted, I'll lose, so I am trying to play and always be focused on the game. But I also always listen to music during the game. Music helps me to be focused.

In a live game I am all business but since we can not see the other players and body actions I tend to have two screens one with the game and one with netflix.

for what I have played in that little time, it is difficult to do two or more tasks while playing, too many distractions are not good for the game.
:eek:

When I play poker I watch tv, I have no problem
with that, but when my wife talks to me while I
am playing I do not do well.

On every sit, i'm playing around 5-6tables. I really don't want any distraction. Only while playing poker i can listen to some chill music. Before i ever sit i'm making a big cup of coffee, getting water and everything i need for session like 5-8hours. Focus is the most important thing in poker i guess. When i sit playing poker, i'm putting the headphones, chill music and i'm ready for grinding. Any other distraction can make me lose.
