distractions in the game

[ODRAGD3]

It hasn't happened to how many of you that you are playing on the PC or laptop, and you turn to see a message on the phone and Fash passed the pair of AAs and you realized when you are almost folded or reach the call! Or it also happens that while we wait for a hand or while the game is going on we start looking at social networks to "kill time" and we realize we have to press back to the table!

This happens to me when I am distracted or focused on the game and believe me I never get to a good place!
On the other hand, when I am paying 100% attention to the game or social networks or phones, I get a place or go far in the tournament! That's why the most important thing in the game is concentration, take it seriously, every penny is worth it.

I never can fully focus on the table I am always distracted somehow... but is very rare for me to lost a hand like you said, gladly

 

[Arthurinacio17a]

I get distracted a lot by what's around me and by people

I've also had situations like this happen to me many times. I played only one tournament and I got bored, so I opened a parallel App called Tik Tok. When I was dealt bad cards, I threw them away and went to TikTok, looked at the recommendation feed, came across an interesting video and watched it to the end, realising that I had spent too much time on it. I instantly remembered that I was in a tournament, logged into the poker app and saw that I was out of the game with a pair of aces. I had quite a few examples like that, but now when I play poker, I try not to be distracted by social media and just listen to music.

I didn't do what you say but I called all in with 7 2 looking at the phone and that's how I finished the tournament

I agree that concentration is very important, but I can’t achieve it one hundred percent myself, and because of this I was distracted and my misclicks were very unsuccessful, but with age it’s more difficult to be more focused, maybe someone can give me the right advice

when i get a phone call that the worst for me coz you think you can manage but then small mistakes causes you your whole tournament

 

[laihuynh]

It's frustrating to be playing some intense tournament and getting a call 😡

 

[odonob]

I don’t like in game distractions like comments or gimmicky in house animations.

 

[HistrionCriollo]

It´s the most important, the focus, the game can be impossible if you don't pay attention to it.

In my case I'm only focus on the game, However, I also put a playlist to be chill.

totally 1 hand can cost you the game, it just happened to me that I didn't send all in by mistake with JJ, but instead I doubled the blind, I clicked the button wrong and I didn't send all in and I paid a Q 7 for the hand and I won with the Q

I totally agree being distracted while playing reduces my chances of making good results in tournaments

 

[km1n]

I agree with what you said almost 100 if u are fully focus u have more chances of winning

I play better if not fully focused, might have to do with getting too focused on reading other players vs. reading only HUD information.

Hello everyone. I agree with the opinions about the importance of concentration in gaming, so I usually play either late at night or during the night when no one distracts me. Sometimes, I listen to music with headphones. But there's one thing I can't handle completely - the quality of the internet. Speed fluctuations and connection issues have such a big impact on my focus that other factors become insignificant!

 

[Gallarado777]

Yes, online poker that's why all people watch movies, play on a computer and watch messages on their phones and get distracted after which they play like you realize that you lose to such a player later because he was lucky and he won you and he will go far but then he'll lose right, it's better not to focus on playing poker

I also have problems with the internet and electricity.

When my internet goes out, I share the internet from my phone to my PC or open the app on my phone! It is important to have an alternative device with poker applications for these cases because if you are in an important tournament it is best to have the phone charged and with balance

 

[GarotoMaroto]

I usually dont get distracted in games XD
God bless

 

[Acechador]

Yes, it has happened to me...that's why I play at times where I don't have to worry about a call or message from someone, when I sit down to play, I try to concentrate on the game 100%...as you say, every penny counts.
