what do you do while you play online

[Benneke11]

Facebook, Youtube, browsing the internet and watching tv

 

[ross1122]

Usually just listen to music or watching some football on the tele

Depends if I am serious about maximizing my profit than I would be taking notes for reference in the future. (Usually ring game or the occasional larger bi mtt.)

If Im playing a mtt (usually play low micro 1 or 2 bux or freeroll) where it is more for amusement and not likely to run into same player at game I care about than the answer would be....drinking a lot of beer.

 

[nc_royals]

Does anyone actually watch the game theyre playing? Possibly take notes and look for good spots?

 

[marcumx]

listen to classical music or check my facebook.

 

[Tinie107]

Facebook, cardschat and music usually.

 

[sagiPOTM]

i couldn't agree more with you my friend ...you forgot to mention that you sometimes watch adult movies while playing online, that could be distracting too, don't you think?

hahahahah mby sometimes, but then it's impossible to play

 

[AlfieAA]

Just poker.....stopped multi tasking weeks ago, enjoy the game more now when its just me and the game.

 

[ScottishMatt]

I play with myself. I tend to rise and fall depending on well I run. As of now I haven't had a boner in week . . . Damn poker! It broke my ****!

haha, perfect response. I focus more if it's late in the tourney, but when I'm grinding day in day out, it's good to have music/other distractions going, even if it cuts in my profitability by a little as I regain it by not burning out as easily which lets me play more games which = more profit.

 

[starting_at_the_bottom]

Make notes

 

[nightmoves44]

I watch tv,it helps keep me calm and not get in a hurry.Sometime I catch myself surfing the net anyways..lol

 

[Leo 50]

I will sometimes have some music going in the background
BUT I’m there to play poker.

 

[SicKBeATz]

When I log on and jump into a micro Mtt I'm usually not too focused on the game until 2nd or 3rd break sometimes not until final table. Usually just lurk the forums here.

If it's a bigger game that I've planned ahead of time to play I tend to just focus on the game.

 

[Boocha]

If it's a micro mtt I usually put on some netflix or youtube. If it's a mtt with a bigger buy in or a cash game then I am focusing on the game and taking notes.

i listen to music sometimes and play alot of xbox cod while playing online.. what things do you guys do i was thinking about trying to practice learning another language

I tried learning German off Rosetta stone twice...
Failed both times, takes lots of time out of the day and I cba.

While playing I listen to Michael Jackson :elefant:

 

[ChipEaterMan]

Shave beard,Cut Toe Nails... Naww I'm just kidding.That sounded like something that might be on X-games or something.I do watch sports,cook/microwave food or something,watch poker on youtube,check e-mail,set outside on patio,listen to pandora radio.

 

[ThatsBone]

Been playing a lot of battlefield 3 lately as the tables wind down.

 

[1ofTheFellas]

Ideally, you should be focusing on your tables... this is in a perfect world...

I try and only keep music on, or stay on a skype call with buddies to keep the poker talk going and keep my mind from straying away from the task at hand

 

[Abedin120]

I usually listen music, but sometimes I watch sport or maybe chat on facebook, or maybe write some posts on cardschat like at this moment

 

[fan_diaz]

music, facebook and cardschat
Sometimes, I watch TV too

 

[Wolfpack43ACC]

Pandora, TV on in the background or I go complete silence mode focused.

Use old school AIM as well since I have buddies that play poker and we all like to chat while we're in the middle of our sessions or what not. And I shouldn't have to clarify this but no not in a cheating manner, just to talk about how we're doing on the day, joke around, bullshit about our lives, different hands we've played, strategy etc.

 

[FastOne]

Focus.

Usually I listen to some music, and depending on the number of tables, I could read threads in forum, emails, internet, etc.

 

[imafish]

just listen to music

 

[Aleksei]

Music, chat sometimes unless I'm playing like two hypers or 6 cash tables and have like zero time to do anything else before it's my turn to act somewhere.

I don't understand people who can mass-table, and in a sense I'm in awe of them -- especially people who mass-table relatively fast formats like 6max, such as Ducky. I very rarely play more than 4 tables of anything.
