Patience is the key moment in poker. You need to be patient, if you want to win something. If you have problems with that, you need to try some relaxing music, like Enigma(for example) and some others, this can help a lot.

The best way for not getting bored is spin n go .It is fast you dont have chips and its max time is 10 minutes.

I know how you feel 100%

What I normally do is to look away from the computer. An example would be just simply getting out of my chair and doing a few stretches (yoga is the best) and get a cold glass of water and even wash my face. Lights and screens have bothered me since I was a kid but it seems to refresh me to almost reset myself so that I'm prepared for the next hour until break.


As far as music, I tend to lean toward calming music. Nothing that is aggressive and turned up loud because it only distracts my play and performance.


How this helps!

I used to have this problem.
But now, I try to look more at my opponents etc. and write things down.
Now I sometimes have even too little time.

If this is MTT in the beginning, I can do anything, cook, clean, watch TV and get a lot of chips. then I delve into the game with music

Me, i always try to play 2 tables at a time whenever possible, if not , i'm on my Facebook or tagged chatting. That fills my waiting time but hampers my concentration.

There should be enough things to do. Play several Tables, watch your oponents, the handreplayer, theire stats. If you get bored with Poker just do smth else :)

Poker is a game of patience that nobody wins at first, it takes patience to wait for the good card of patience to reach the final table. If you want to win in poker and have no patience, you are on the wrong track, have the patience to achieve victory and good luck!

In order to be a good player you have to have patience. Everything can't happen at once and the games can be long.

You should be doing something that dont distract you from poker that much. You should always be paying attention to every hand and the players around you. While doing that you can listen to music, eating snacks or something.

I can't afford any distraction. If I play poker I have concentrate to the players otherwise I miss their leaks and I lose my chips.
