Concentration

[malakata19]

The better we feel, the more effectively we can concentrate. If we are tired, sick or hungry, our ability to concentrate decreases, because this requires a certain amount of energy. No energy - no concentration! To fully concentrate on the game of poker, you need to eat well, you need to sleep well and be healthy.

Really true, but I you have childs or a family to attend is difficult to concentrate too, no only friends affect.

Professional players have no problem with that. Imagine how hard it is to play your A game when there are 2k players more around you (in live games). Train yourself, try to stay focused whether there is someone around you or not.

Is not only concentration, I always have a problem when my wife arrives and start saying I have been playing all day and not paying attention to her, when in fact I just started to play when she arrives.

So it depends who is around, as for my wife, must times I just quit playing.
