Pets & Poker

[IRINA70]

I always play poker/surf the internet lying on my big couch. At first it was a monitor on the bedside table, and now a small folding table, standing right on the couch with a laptop on a stand on it. This allows, firstly, to avoid stress on the spine and fatigue when working with a computer while sitting, and secondly, to allow my pet cat Alice to lay on my chest and purr to fall asleep. As I turn on my laptop and get comfortable on the pillows, my Alice is already waiting nearby for an opportunity to climb on top of me. In this way, we both enjoy being close to each other and the process and are in a relaxed state. How do you interact with your pets while playing? Do they hinder or help you?

Studies have shown that pet owners sleep longer on average, which helps reduce stress and depression. This is mainly true for people who have dogs: they walk them and spend time outdoors. Cat owners also have a lot of extra physical activity, as they regularly play with their pets. An active lifestyle contributes to clear thinking in the game. Having recharged and refreshed your brain, you will be able to more effectively cope with complex tasks in the process of playing poker. I have a cat at home and he is always with me, he brings me good luck.

Been my experience that cats play way to aggressively, over bet, bluff to much, are much worse than dogs at chasing st8's & flushes. Never let your cat near the keyboard.

Yes, they are cats - predators, in a word. 🐈‍

I have two cats. They help a lot. Especially when I'm nervous.

My cat usually tries to hit the all in button. Sometimes she plays better than me.

I have aquarium fish, maybe they also want to lie on my chest when I play poker, but they don't have such an opportunity, unfortunately

It's all good, but separately)))

What exactly needs to be separated - fish from cats or playing poker from lying on the bottom of the aquarium?

I think it’s very comfortable for your Alice to lie on your chest, I also have a cat, when I play poker, he lies on my stomach, rarely climbs on my chest, maybe my chest is small and he doesn’t want to lie there?)

 

[IRINA70]

I think that cats do exactly what they want and lie down where they like, where they are comfortable at the moment. Now my cat is settled comfortably on my hips. When she wants more attention and affection, she will move higher. And, characteristically, it does not interfere with my game.

You have a cute, beautiful cat. I love cats and dogs too, but unfortunately I don't have any anymore.

Hello, I had a dog for 15 years until he died of old age, he was always at my feet accompanying me on my long days of online poker: cry:

My cat never bothers me, he sleeps in another room.

Thank you. I love her very much and perhaps I allow her more than a pet should. But when I nursed her after two surgical operations four years ago, her great significance for me became quite obvious. And I'm really grateful for every day and moment that we spend together. She is my great joy..
I wish you to find your love again in one of these cute four-legged creatures. 💖

In my case, my pet would be my son, he climbs on my shoulders, pulls my hair, plays jumping on top of me, sleeps on my lap. LOL In general it bothers me yes, but not always lol
