Online Poker: Playing alone at home or when others are around?

[seiya1989]

In my case I prefer to play when I'm alone otherwise I don't get distracted by a conversation while playing

Hi
Mostly I live alone, but sometimes my girlfriend lives with me and to be honest she doesn't distract me at all. When I play poker, she does her own thing, and it's not a problem for us at all.
Good luck.

I prefer to play alone, but I have no problem playing with more people. During a game where you have more people around, a conversation can temporarily disturb your vigilance and attention, and then it's easier to make a mistake.

Well..... let's see there's 3 toddlers, 1 teenager... where there's one there's always more close by, 2 adults, 2 dogs, 7 cats and don't get me started on the snake..... you can probably guess when I like to play 👍

Since I usually have several tables open at the same time, I actually only play when I'm alone and not distracted.

I close the door to my room then I'm alone while playing.

Definitely alone so you can concentrate - I'm easily distracted so best to be just myself and focused.

Prefer Alone

 

[AntoniodeLima0]

To play in a quiet environment, without much outside interference, for better reasoning and choice of plays, is certainly great

 

[Gallarado777]

you can play calm if you're bothered by noises around you, you can put on headphones and turn on the music so that it doesn't bother you, but I also love playing in the quiet of home I'm so much calmer than when there are noises around and I don't listen to music I play better without it

 

[Zrariii]

obviously alone is better, but, I have few friends with which I can play next to and still enjoy it ^^

music is a must imo

 

[Luca Santos]

I don't mind having someone around.
But it also depends a lot on what kind of people are around.

 

[rdwr33]

I definitely prefer home alone. I like tranquility and peace

 

[Roobz75]

I play at home. Doesn't bother me, as my husband is usually around, watching videos on his headphones, so effectively I'm alone....

[lyki67]

I play it alone in my workspace. Best this way. No disturb.

 

[Comboss599]

[steve01991]

i like playing alone, too many disstractions otherwise. but if i am forced , i will play with family around.

 

[lifecoach22]

I love when there is silence around and no one interferes, it helps to focus on the game

 

[Vladqt]

alone, the fewer distractions the better

I prefer to play when I am alone, although I did have a Friend call round for a coffee one morning and I said he would have to wait as I was in the last stages of a game I was involved in. He sat nearby and watched me play for the last 3 places in a 9 player SnG, I was chip leader and I explained how I was raising in some spots because of position, and why I folded sometimes even on the BB.
I finished winning the game after around 10 mins and as I was about to get up and make him a brew he said he enjoyed that and wished he could play himself, so I said the only way to learn is to play and registered him in a 2,000 Dollar game and said go ahead and try. He was shocked and asked my if I was Stupid or something? thinking it was real money. I said I'm not that Stupid, It's play money chips.
He would call out his hands to me as I was in the kitchen making us a Coffee and I was calling back "Fold" or wait for a better hand, and before I finished making us a brew he lost the lot. I tried to get him to play again but Cards certainly was not his strong point as he preferred to waste his money on the Horses or Sports betting.
I would like to pass on what I know from playing Poker to my Grandkids but none have ever shown an interest in the game, and I don't want to force them into it, I suppose one day they might want to learn why I loved to play Poker so much, but I might not be around to teach them.
