You hear music while playing? What type of songs?
You watch TV? Movies? Tv show? Program?
Play other game?
Other stuff? What?

I watch some tv shows while playing :censored:
To my great regret, I do not concentrate as much as possible

Due to legislation in my country I can only play 4 tables at once, boring. So I watch videos and movies aside.

I'm listening to music while playing poker most of the time.

I've been mainly playing Fast Forward/Cash Rush-type games so it's very hard not to be fully focused. I would listen to music but I still have to be able to listen out for the kids if they need something. I like the freeroll tournaments because the hands take so long that you can do other stuff between the fold and the next hand. In the fast games, I can just sit out if something needs doing.

I've tried playing other games but I miss the alarms and end up sitting out too often.

The success of your game is directly dependent on what emotional state you are in. Depression and fatigue, hunger or excitement - any condition can affect the outcome of the game. You need to play full and listen to light music.The better your health, the greater the gain. Sit down at the table, only being in a state of harmony and agreement with your own self. It is this mood that will help you in multiplying capital. Poker does not tolerate passivity. As in any other competition, in poker you have to be extremely focused and always ready to fight.

Good morning everyone, it's a good question. I take poker as a profession, my source of income is what I earn playing poker, when I'm playing I try to play very concentrated. There are players who play many mtts at the same time, if the player it's profitable he'll win, but his roi will decrease, in my opinion 4 Mtts is ideal for playing paying close attention to the villains.

During online poker I play Suduko, because too many A-holes need to use the full clock, I think it makes feel like everyone thinks they are professional, no one does. Cash live games, my focus is on the table and the players, always.

I sometimes watch sports broadcasts while playing games, but I try to focus on the game completely.

If I'm playing, I'm definitely not watching TV. But it doesn't hurt to listen to music. That's why I listen to music at least.

I usually listen to music. Something energizing, so that I don't fall asleep. I also read some articles to learn something new and keep in touch with what is happening around. And who watches TV these days?

I did not focussing on the table with 100%. Usually there are some background music. Sometimes i also watch sport. In the endphase of a tourney im more focus on the tables. I watch also the other table to get some important information about the other players. How they play and i make notes from the players and hopefully i have an advantage if these players joining my table.

not everyone can control themselves, it's better to play the final table in silence, that's for sure

This is one of my mistake. I get distracted by other things and I'm not concentrate at the game. Sometimes I watch TV, sometimes I google for something or I'm just reading posts on cardschat

I have found that if I want to get the best results I better not let other distractions interfere with my attention and focus on the game. I have had that lesson reinforced many times.

I don't know if it's concentration, when you play at the same time on the computer and on the phone at multiple tables, in my view, that's deconcentration

I only listen to music when I play and tend to be really focused on just playing my game and reading the table. I do tend to check my email or Cardschat during breaks sometimes.

I listen to podcasts, watch youtube, sports and tv series, read articles. Lately streaming on discord and chatting with friends at our private group.
