I hear music, which is a very good companion with the game. I choose good music!

I like to play poker when I'm playing poker. If you have enough time to think of something else then why not add three or four more tables to your multi tabling number.

Focus

Focus there is nothing for me to do together while playing. I play poker to relax, my winning percentage is horrible because I take to many chances. I only play for chump change so it is really not about the money. I can multi task but not when it comes to playing cards. Capo1014

I fluctuate. No real order to any of this these are just a handful of things I do some nights when I play.

1) Listen to Music

2) Listen to comedy,

3) everything is silent

4) Twitch every now and again, but not if I want to focus on the games I am playing

listen to music or have the news on the TV in the background just accompanying you so as not to be distracted.

Hello.
In my case, it all depends on the number of tables I play. If there is only one table, I even have time to cook dinner. Although I honestly believe that players should be as focused on the game and decision-making as possible, then the chances of winning increase significantly.

Most of all I like to play only one to two tables, when I play too many tables I lose focus and do not notice the essential characteristics in the opponent's game to the maximum extent. If I do something else I disturb my concentration even more. The only thing I do outside of poker is watch a few favorite poker streamers on Twitch, although that distracts me from the game, and I would probably make fewer mistakes in the game if I didn’t watch the stream.

I may be doing a variety of things depending on how I feel or how many tables I’m playing. If I’m only playing 1 or 2 tables I might knit, listen to music or watch a show, maybe cooking, filling out surveys, checking on emails etc.

Most times I’m just playing poker, when I’m playing poker.

Say something that would be interesting to do while playing poker? It's because?



;)



Hi.
Usually while playing poker I listen to the radio or watch videos on YouTube. Although, if I play more than two tables, I try not to be distracted and focus as much as possible on the game.
Good luck.

When I play online, I get more "on" when I'm doing some activity like cleaning the house for example. I don't know exactly why, but maybe I feel like I'm using my time well (while playing poker of course). If I miss it, I don't feel frustrated by the lost time.

If you play and do something else, then it is unlikely that a good game will turn out, it's like the saying: You chase two hares, you won't catch one, perhaps the only exception can be music, which sets you up for a good game

On the contrary, all I do when I play poker is focus on the hand and the movement of the players, it helps me to achieve good results. Poker isn't boring for me

It depends, if i'm playing in MTTs and especially only in one, i relax and watch the gameplay of my opponent while listening to music. If I'm playing turbo tournaments or cash, i prefer to be focused on every hand by not doing anything else that would distract me. Good luck!

Hi! :)
During the session, I listen to the radio or audiobooks,watch poker streams, but if the responsible tables turn on relax music.I turn everything off at the finals.

Hello, I usually do nothing more during the game, I try to focus on the game itself, since concentration is very important! For me poker is not a way of making money, poker is for me entertainment in my spare time because I just play and enjoy the game! At the tables I try to watch the actions of opponents and try to find out their strategy, but when a very, very boring table, I sometimes open YouTube and watch all kinds of videos!

the only "distraction" I'd allow myself from focusing away from the current table is to very briefly review the table's prior showdown hands or a previous play that's been nagging my brain. otherwise, all eyes on the table. there are amazingly so many things you can pick up and help adjust your play.

It's really cool to listen to your favourite YouTuber while playing poker. By the way, if it's starting to be boring to play only in one table, just play in 4 or maybe even more, it helps me a lot

if you want to play professionally and earn money while playing poker-just play and analyze - everything else is a waste of time
