Bad Idea, I have done that on a few occasions and it never ends well. If you are going to play and be successful, you have to be alert and eager to play, not oh well nothing better to do.
Your thoughts on this.

Hi manzanillo53. Yes playing poker just because you are bored is not a good thing. There has to be some excitement about playing and hopefully winning. GL if you play any poker today

I 100% agree with your statement manzanillo53. Your focus and ability to make smart decisions at the table will likely be tougher if you're distracted or can't pay attention to what's going on. Also, if you're not getting some sort of enjoyment out of playing online poker, then what's the point of playing. Playing when disinterested and bored is not a good combination.

In fact, the poker table should never be boring. At the very least, you shouldn't sit back and get bored if your goal is to get the maximum advantage over your opponents. And this is possible only if you actively participate in the game at the table, even if you yourself are not involved in the distribution.

Totally agree, you shouldn’t play poker just because you’re bored and don’t have nothing else to do. If you really wants to play in this situation, it’s better just play freerolls because if you lose it just doesn’t matter that much.

I have other stuff to do, but I must admit that sometimes I am already bored with my other hobbies and I turn to poker. I don't play high stakes so the boredom does not cost me much.

I don't think it's a new idea either, I think we should play when we feel like it and have a separate schedule for that.

If you are bored, then the game can give you some action and motivate you more. If you remain bored, then you must not play because it might be useless!

If you are bored after you start playing, you need to find something else to do. Poker should be something that engages your attention, or you are just throwing money away and wasting time.

Sometimes it's definitely difficult to find the motivation to play.

On those occasions I typically end up just taking the day off; playing without the drive to win obviously is only going to end up one way: punting off your stacks.

Fortunately, whenever I feel like this, I have the serenity to make the decision not to play, I take the day studying and doing things that I like and it never takes more than a day to regain my desire and desire to play concentrated:jd4::jd4::jd4::jd4:

I play poker not because I am bored, but because I am interested.

Definitely agree. If you want to be profitable, then you need dedication. If you want to have fun, and gamble that’s fine if that’s what you want to do.

I play for fun. To see if the game is rigged or not. Can it be beat. How poker pros play.

probably this is the reason poker gives me emotions adrenaline is cool I like poker and I hope there will not come a moment when it will cease to be of interest to me, the main thing is not to lose a lot of money

Yes, when it is done just by playing it brings its consequences. playing any tournament just to be bored is losing money!

During the game I always try to be as focused as possible on my own decisions. I don't pay attention to conversations, I don't watch TV, and I try not to be distracted. I made sure that my concentration directly affects my results.

It is true, you have to have the antennas well stopped to be successful here, be at 100 percent of the capacities and give it your all, otherwise it will only be a fleeting moment

Bad idea, you play better if you are focused and rested, you will definitely make fewer mistakes.

yes if you come out of boredom you will lose it 200% if you come for victory you will win I think it is logical isn't it
