Posture - mine's terrible playing poker. How about yours?

[VBB112]

I don't have the best posture to begin with, but it's ten times worse playing online. I have a decent chair, but a chair only kind of, sort of helps if you're leaning back. I'm leaning forward much more often toward my laptop, than I'm leaning back.

Anyone else have this problem? And does anyone have a good remedy or tricks they use to promote good posture while playing?

Hi!

I sit in my chair a lot. I always make sure my back is straight. I used to sit in a chair every night from 7 to 6 in the morning. I had no problem with it yet. At noon when I get up I tend to justify a little. It may help me not to have pain. And I don’t tend to lean forward because my monitor is big enough.

Same...i need to balance my life and start exercising again

 

[elizeuof]

Generally I play more from my smartphone, and I play on chair, couch, bed, on the floor... I am thinking about buy a comfortable armchair, I also think in buy another PC and make a better place to study, work, and play sometimes.

I have a bad posture and I don't exercise.

 

[Maxmustdie]

i get up every hour and go to the horizontal bar to pull myself up to stretch my back

It happens to all of us, it is the simple fact of sitting for a long time, it gets worse if you also have poor posture in general. Improve overall posture, beyond playing poker or not. Strength exercises, resistance (walking), stretching, corrective posture exercises. I find that sitting without using the backrest is more beneficial.

I usually play laying down in bed because I can’t stand playing for a long time sitting in a chair. I’m still young so no pain for now, but I know that my posture is awful

Obviously, you need to be comfortable and convenient during the long game. I think that comfort directly affects our patience and our decisions accordingly.

Comfortable or not?

Hello. I play sitting at the kitchen's table. Every once in a while, I will play sitting in our recliner. Neither seems to affect how I feel.

 

[Geyomobama]

I pace arround...while I play, but sometimes I seat or lie down

 

[amatola]

yup, also have terrible posture and have back issues. in the process of moving, but once done plan to set myself up properly.

 

[ph_il]

mine is bad when i sit sometimes. i stretch a lot during breaks or, if i need to, i'll stand up and play.

 

[Freepokerfree]

I try not to use the back of the seat and now I also try to sit with my legs wide open, in order to keep my balance, with the intention of not curving my lower back.
Greetings tell me if it works! :top:

I do not have such a problem. I only play poker online, and a few months ago, I bought myself a very comfortable chair in which I always feel comfortable. Also, I never play poker for more than 4-6 hours in a row, so I never feel particularly tired.

It IS important to have a proper posture while sitting at the computer. Think it over - it affects your health and probably poker performance. There are articles how to sit properly. Do it.

 

[Lena M]

Hello.
I think you should just buy a chair in which you will be comfortable playing poker. Obviously, your results will depend on your comfortable location during the game.

 

[Branimir84]

Yeah, true. Mine is not good as well. Really need to work on that.

 

[Risto234]

Anyone else have this problem?

No since i dont sit behind the desk on some chair for hours while playing poker lol ...

 

[partz]

I do workout before any long session, especially grinding sessions.

 

[Patoamz95]

I use the notebook and generally I'm lying on the bed or sofa for hours, when I want to remember everything hurts just to move hahaha

 

[zvezdadelije]

I think this is an important aspect of playing poker, especially for longer periods. I always ensure that my posture is ok so that I minimize and avoid any health related problems.

 

[KasyakoFF]

I play lying! I know it's not the best option, but I can't imagine how you can play while sitting on a chair and not even lean your back

 

[saha2000]

The most important thing is to have a good gaming chair and I am not saving on it. Besides, after a few hours of playing, everyone seems to be getting uncomfortable. Alternatively, you can switch to a mobile device and lie down: P

 

[vsawake01]

I play on armchair reclining the back of the chair. I also get up every break.

I prefer to play lying on the bed with my phone in hand. In fact, as for me, this is the most comfortable position for the game))

I don't use a computer at all, although I have a powerful and gaming Intel core i5
