Hey poker peeps... How are y'all doing?

I'm writing this thread mostly to Brazilians cause it's related to the freerolls which are in an hour that makes it a little difficult for us to play since it's in commercial hours for us.

I do try to play when there's not much demand at work but still... Can't play well and focused.

Is there anyone else that shares the same experience?

brazil or a player from another country who is at work plays poker and not everyone has time so this prevents all players from playing exactly without being distracted from poker, many do it at work, of course it's a hindrance and what can you do

I am retired by the government of my country, but I am providing services to a railroad in the city where I live as a freelancer.
But this service is good for me, because I'm on call 24 hours a day at the railroad's disposal, when they need me they call and I run away.
So I get to play all the freerolls I want, the only problem is that if the railroad calls me when I'm playing I have to drop everything and leave, but I don't care because the money I get from the railroad is better than the freerolls.

it is always good to be focused on poker so that you can make the best decisions, that is why you have to structure your time better so that you can give some time to poker without neglecting your work and vice versa, that way you will be more focused on what you do.

I'm also from Brazil and I had the same problem when I was in college. Nowadays I don't have this problem, because I work mostly in the morning time. When I was in college I remember I only played the weekend freerolls and buy in tournaments.

I understand that the game in Brazil starts at 5 pm? If I had this problem, I would choose a job and not waste time on freerolls:)

It really is complicated for Brazilians the hours of freerolls.
But the ideal is to enjoy the maximum of the end of weeks when available.
I don't know what your intentions are, but that's the best option if poker is just an adhering income for you

I work as a cashier in small casino (Slot Club) and i am spending at least 4 of 8 working hours playing poker 😀 the other 4 hours i am listening to music and drink beer (the camera over me is black and white so they can't see what's inside the glass 🤣)

There are many distractions but biggest distraction are coworkers who don't have what to do and they are bothering me with their stupid conversations 😡

In less than 1 hour i am going to work night shift, wish me luck that there won't be too many customers (players) to bother me 😂

If you have a good job, you should play poker in your spare time.

In my case I work from home on the computer, so luckily while I work I can play poker, it should be noted that I have two monitors so I work on one and play a game on the other, it also has its downside because I can't be so focused on the game, but hey I've entered a tournament while I work

Apparently in your time zone, freerolls take place during the daytime. I have another problem, we have them pass deep after midnight. They do not seem to interfere with my work, they interfere with sleep before work)))

Best is to play rested and concentrated. Otherwise it's just a pain in the butt.
So choose the right time for you, even if it's not when Cardschat freerolls are played. You can find tables for your liking for sure

The best solution is not to play at work, so as not to lose it and be effective, you can just play on the weekend, play at least as much as 2 days

This situation is very complicated, I've been through it. Sometimes there's nothing to do.
Today I only play when I have time.
