It's hard to maintain your A game when you multitasking..that's for sure. But if you play 1-2 tables or so .. you can focus them easily while watching something on TV. I use to listen relaxing music while playin

I always have something on, movie, youtube or whatever, mostly for background noise and so I don't get bored and play to many hands. It has really helped me in that way

Gotta have the latest episode of Polker Hands on during your session for +EV. In all seriousness some people can multitask well while they play and others can't. Just up to the player playing and how many tables they have going.

When I play one or two tables at a tournament and if my game is long and boring, I watch some humorous programs in YouTube to distract myself from the boring game, but when I play both tournaments and cash games, then for me the game passes excellent fast and not boring

As a rule, when playing poker, I try to be focused only on making the right decisions, so I do not watch the video, but sometimes I can listen to music.

Anything that doesn't require my entire focus on it.. sometimes it's music, some old series I'm watching for 10 years and I know all the episodes by heart, classic cartoons, a twitch streamer, my neigbor changing clothes...

It will never stop for me (health condition) and quite frankly, it helps me a lot when I go play live poker because there's a lot of distraction you can't control when you play live but you need to stay focus on your game!

When I started playing at pokerstars in 2015, I carefully played and did not distract myself during the game, I just played the game, and in principle the results were not bad, but then I started watching video clips and movies on YouTube, and my results poker went down sharply, so lately I refused to watch any video !!!

I always launch a video on youtube during my sessions to relax. generally it's more to listen than to watch but never music because it makes me tilt.

Definitely YouTube, funny videos or SNL about the news. Sometimes I'll watch the actual News (CNN) not that Fox crap.

Sometimes a distraction is helpful but most of the time when I play well is when there is total silence:jd4:.

Sometimes I watch The biggest hits on Slotmachines on Youtube while playing 1 tournament only. In general there are more tournaments open and I only listen to music.

It depends when I play I guess. I usually have a game on while I'm playing if there is one on during my poker game and if there's no sports I'll have some movie playing in the background or watch something on youtube.

While I'm playing I don't watch anything else. I like to maintain as much focus on the game as I can. I will, however, have some music playing.

I definitely keep a YouTube tab opened at all times. I usually have music playing but sometimes watch movie clips, tv clips, classic cartoons and/or podcasts. Occasionally I'll throw on a game if it's important like the NBA playoffs for example.

Other than that, I rarely put a movie or full tv show on the big screen since that'll probably distract me a little more than clips I've seen a million times would.

I find watching something or browsing while playing poker to negatively affect my concentration and prevent me to play my best game. Recently i try to concentrate on the game. The only thing that actually helps my game is good music because it makes my mood better.

I mostly do watch poker streamers on twitch while playing myself. If there is nobody i like to watch streaming online then i watch movie or something else.
Not watching something only when i am playing too many tables and i cannot loose a percentage of my focus.

Since I usually only play one table or tournament at a time, I am guilty of scrolling through Ali Express on my phone shopping or looking for good deals.

I can watch something poker-related like a live session or a hand review but only when I have 1-2 tables left.
When it comes to a final table, I'll carefully observe my opponents and won't watch anything :)
