How to maintain concentration ?

[CEO]

I have not been playing very long, but I like to keep my eye on the prize, it motivates me to finish strong

 

[luiaguila]

you never relax always attentive and never be afraid to fold a hand, always concentrated thinking in your hand and your opponent's hand so everything will be faster and you will do best

 

[Caracazz]

Don't listen to music, don't acess facebook or twitter, don't fap.

Weird list

Well....I do a few stuff before getting in a tournament:

1)Prepairing 2 playlists(1 for tight playing and the other for the agressive style-and I know..sounds ridiculous)

2)I smoke cigarette after cigarette .
3)Eliminate everything that could make me lose my concentration like TV,phone,parents and so on .
4)Speak out load what I think about other players .
5)Pray while all in.


Try !

I'm listening Rammstein.

music for the start

I will usually have 2 to 4 tables going at once. I tend to lose focus when playing only one, especially in the early stages of the games.

I don't usually listen to music as that distracts from my concentration on the games. I like my music too much and tend to get into it.

I will normally have the TV running in the background, although, not really watching.

As I get eliminated from a tourney, I won't register in any new ones so that all I am playing in are fairly close to being at the same level.

If I get down to a single table, it generally means I have lasted long enough to be close to the $$$, and that will draw and hold my attention.

I always be quiet ,listen to the music and don't talk with anyone to have the maintain concentration and don't lose it

Sleep enough get your rest.
Eat fine.

The most important thing to understand what you play and then it will be the concentration and discipline)

 

[krasikrisi]

All recommendations are well and maybe every colleague will have itself to find the best solution. good luck to all

 

[Lubzhen]

To maintain concentration in the game I play in complete silence. Don't distract on anything except poker. Closely watching the game rival. Think over your every move in the game.

 

[Mr Alvim]

Open Spotify and hear music playing

 

[CincyTim83]

Make sure if its a multi day event. That you eat well!! Get lots a sleep. Just maintain decent fitness.

 

[Lheticus]

For me it's more a matter of getting focused in the first place. If I steel myself for a tournament I've entered enough, then I'm usually okay and I just have to keep from getting bored, usually with, as others here have said, music. But if I sign up for a tournament and forget about it, or get in a SnG that doesn't attract enough players for too long and I start doing other things...well, it can really be a problem, because it's really hard for me to get my mind back on the game from wherever it happens to be at the time once I start playing if it's not already there.

Live - keep your eye on the players and their habits - helps you concentrate on what is happening.
Internet - some have habits but music helps me and it cuts off my wife's interruptions - she knows only to talk to me at the 5 minute intervals (and toilet breaks at that stage are essential at my age)

 

[BigJamo]

I only play 3-4 hour sessions, but i play everyday if possible.
I stay focused by only playing for 4 hours and multitabling upto 8 tables to maintain maximum brain activity.
I found when if I fell short in some of the MTT,s then I would open up a few ring games to keep the blood pumping.

 

[Oleg196]

Before the game out of the house - a walk. During the game, drink coffee. Often I get up from the computer, I go - it helps not to fall asleep. Actually during night games.

 

[ccocco]

Listening to music almost always, but when the tournament is very long, I watch a movie while I play, that to me in particular, help me not to go with bad hands that flop look good, projects almost always where if would play almost certainly lost.

Starve your distractions
Feed your focus

 

[HenriqueMed1]

I off the lights in my room and listen to music in headphones.

 

[NicoSalazar7]

It is very difficult to find the concentration in a stressed or tired brain , because the solution that obvious , relaxation is the main thing to focus on, there are several methods like hypnosis , or simply listen to soothing music, or something that relaxes you , I recommend hypnosis , you can find some online video , you can move from one state to a fully awake tired with your senses to one hundred

Excuse my translation , I do not understand the English

 

[rensks]

like the others... music helps me focus, also need to play when there are no problems twisting my mind

 

[kidpokerkids]

Listen to only soft music,and look only at the monitor

 

[freestocks]

Eat food for energy.
