Not only food, even booze - the same tea or coffee is unacceptable to me during the game: it distracts me too much from the game.

If you are one of those players who play for many hours in a row ... you have to eat ... in my personal case ... I play for many hours in a row for that reason I always prepare food before starting to play .. So that way in the tournaments breaks I only have to serve my food and keep playing ...!

Exactly the same for me. You have to make sure that you are not getting distracted by hunger. Hunger sometimes causes people to lose focus and concentration. Always have at least a protein bar and water handy to keep yourself nourished.

I need to eat while playing because I don't like the hungry feeling it's losing my focus.

EAT

I seldom eat while playing. If I do it would be not much more then some chips or Cheetos once in a while. I do however usually have something to drink sitting on the table next to me like water, ice tea or at night a brandy.

GL all!

Absolutely not, it's very distracting. Like, I've been reluctant to join the CC Saturday freeroll for all players because a) I don't play well when I'm hungry and b) I don't want to eat during poker. 5 PM is too close to dinner time...

Normally grab something on the 5 minute break. Lately it has been celery and sunflower seed butter.

reading this, i just imagined you trying to eat ice cream while playing, but you can't pay attention to the game because the act of scooping ice cream onto your spoon and putting it into your mouth is taking all of your concentration.

i'm not making fun of you/your decision to not eat while playing, and if you multi-table a lot, i understand how it can be distracting. it just made for a silly visual that i wanted to share.

Replace ice cream with a burger for accuracy. With grease and w/e dribbling off of it.

Hi, if I have food on the table, even when I play I eat. But sometimes there are such moments (if the food is very tasty, I finish the game and go to watch either videos or movies)

Well. When I was at the casinos..I would stop by any of the nearby candy shop and just load up on various jelly bellies (flavored jelly beans)... currently from home, I normally don’t eat but if I do it’s probably a bowl of chips or something

only bananas. Generally eating a food isn't the best for my concentration.

I usually wait till the game is over or sometimes if it's going for two or three hours i'll just have some fruit.
