Вас щось або хтось відволікає під час гри в покер?

I live alone. Therefore, no one distracts me and I can fully concentrate on the game. Sometimes I can certainly get distracted by the news, but usually I try to concentrate on playing :)

Conversations on discord usually distract me when I fold, but I should watch how the enemies behave even if I'm not playing that hand

I play online and if somebody is standing next to me watching me play then I end up not being able to focus in the game and make terrible decisions in the game. Besides that nothing has ever distracted me from a game.

I'll echo Luvepoker above. At times the wife, step-kids and the cat. I tend try to not play when the wife and step-kids are around but that's not always possible. There mostly pretty good so can't complain really....except for the dam cat. No doesn't mean no to her. She understands yes and right now only lol.

Cheers!!!

Is something or someone distracting me while playing poker? Of course there is always noise, advertising, wrong thoughts and so on

Yeah, kids, wife, dogs, surfing the web. Noisy neighbour that uses his back garden as a industrial yard ( I will have it out with him one day)

Lifes responsibilities in general can make restrictions to game time and funds.
My son tends to be my distraction.

I rarely am distracted when playing online. But when you are playing 9 loud drunk/high guys with sports and music blaring it can get distracting especially if they start fighting (which is often)! It's great fun though!

My family distracts me a lot when I'm playing. I can even maintain concentration when people talk to me in small terms, but when they ask me something that requires me to analyze the subject to answer, I end up getting distracted, irritated and this affects my game.

I need to wait when my two girls are asleep. It's almost impossible to play and have good results when I'm not 100% into it.

You know, I don't think anything distracts or annoys me. Rather, I can usually be annoying because I sometimes think for a long time

From Monday to Friday I'm alone at home, so no one distracts me. Now on weekends my wife talks all the time, the boys scream all the time, the neighbors play music constantly... and so on.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
