Is YouTube, Netflix killing your game?

[valeski 28]

Good morning mate.Not at all because I don´t use them during my poker sessions.Avoid using them if you are not having the results you are waiting for..Good luck!

 

[KeyJey]

No, nothing bothers me. I play calmly watching a movie or series. And besides, I play a maximum of two tables

 

[MoneyMaker4i]

In fact youtube or netflix while playing poker makes me feel more relaxed, makes me play more calmly, without any hurry, for the sake of distracting a little. In short, the best scenario for me to play poker is with good music or with a good series, so I don't get so caught up in the game.

I understand your point about YouTube and Netflix, but how about Xhamster, can we watch that?

 

[Rahatis]

Only when playing freerolls or plo.

I think any distraction gets in the way of your game, be it netflix or youtube. Even worse if the distraction is someone else. Music I think it even helps.

 

[Sdub2020]

Netflix and youtube can be very distracting. I've clicked over to a game and see timeout fold pocket aces. So sad be careful with these distractions can cost you money.

I usually have something from a scientific and cognitive background, I don’t look, I’m not listening with my ears. Elsie starts to watch something, but the attention goes away, and the game merges.

 

[andreypuch]

Hi, everybody. Watch a movie? During the game? Of course not. The only thing that plays is the radio.

 

[VGShaa]

Sometimes I watch movies or entertainment during poker when I need to escape from anger or if I feel that I am on the verge of tilt, or if I was dumbfounded by unpleasant news. And often enough, I return to the rhythm of the game I need

Time for everything...

I think for mental health, I could not spend all day playing poker, after having spent a couple of hours playing, the spark is declining, so it is good to change a little air, and as I am also a fan to see movies, what better than to see the platform that is very fashionable NETFLIX, I have my favorite series, and also my children enjoy the children's chapters. Also on weekends I like to see and listen to music, for this I use YOUTUBE.
I will always play poker when I feel empowered and with a good time available. Cheers!!!:laugh:

 

[georgel2384]

i love to listem music to youtube. It help's me when i have a bad strike.

I think RATT said it best, "what you give, is what you get" -so if you dont focus 100% on poker you are not going to get 100% out.

Heyy !
I don't think watching netflix or youtube has a negative effect.
First, early in tourneys, I multutable, then when I get a couple of deep runs I open some shows on netflix youtube or else and it helps me pass the time and wait for the right spot. When I get a hand I just pause it and do whatever I gotta do. Of course, I keep an eye on the tables even while I am watching to see who is doing what on the tables.

This to tell you that touneys are way too long and you need distraction to pass the time. A regular speed tourney takes around 7 hours to get to the final table, what else watching a good show to keep you positive !

You have to make a part of your brain get loose from poker hands. Does not matter is it music, movie or video. When you get too tense it is not a good place to be while playing poker) Atleast untill first time you will lose your first big hand due to bad concentration

 

[Mateo]

Maybe I definitely find myself distracted by videos if I'm not doing well in a tourney... Should probably try change that haha

 

[Pokerishard]

I am a fun of movies, so youtube and netflix are very usefull for me...Is a nice way to relax and to learn about lot of thinks.

 

[blata8ruga]

I cannot focus on a movie when I play poker. I get to absorbed in the play. Maybe I can't focus on more than one thing at a time very well HAHAHA !

 

[bigthereal]

that's true, man, if you do sg else while playing it may harm your quality of playing
Me also regularly surf the net

 

[Deeznutzzzz]

I always have music playing when doing the several hour tournaments. Sometimes I play a game of chess if I’m on a single table. Both games really give great thinking patterns to strategy and tactics.

 

[Syltan]

Anyone beside me watches movies or videos while playing poker?

It has to Negatively affect my game somehow, since I am not giving it the attention it deserves.

I'm the same as you

 

[Split]

when I play, I listen to music and follow my opponents, it’s more comfortable for me to play

 

[the_bridge222]

Maybe it would be better to replace it with music, although it would also be necessary to see what kind of tournaments you would be playing.

 

[Jutt315]

Never!!!!

I try to avoid watching videos on poker tips. sometimes it throws off your game because you focus on what you watched on a video and dont play the way that you would normally play.

 

[FIERROS]

I watche movies or videos while playing poker I shouldn't but sometimes the game is slow.
