I cant focus only on playing poker aldo, bit that's a mistake, in order to play our A game we should pay total atention in the villains actions and reactions, I advise you to decrease your distractions, that fits for me also, good luck for us haha

I prefer to play in silence so that no one distracts me, sometimes, while playing, I can browse the Internet if I have time.

I often listen to the news, in addition, I listen to streams of my favorite bloggers on YouTube, mainly about politics. In addition, sometimes I can simultaneously watch soccer broadcasts or just listen to music.

I also agree, don't do anything else while playing poker, because it distracts you

I listen to music and just play. I don't like having the tv on I find it is just a distraction.

If I'm playing online, I listen to music, watch a movie or series, and eat a snack. Now, if I'm there alive, I concentrate more on listening to music through the headphones and during the break I try to talk to distract my mind and meet people.

I try to focus only on poker. If I started something else I would be distracted too much. Most of the time I just play. But sometimes I read book in the meantime of betting. However it only applies to satellites.

I play better when I watch animes, listen to new songs or work (when working on weekends). But the root of this is: when I don't pay much attention to the table I don't pay much attention to my ego, though I play near optimal GTO.

I don't recommend having to look at another screen while playing poker; all hands matter, and you can learn by watching your opponents' gameplay. But you can do other things to avoid getting bored, like playing music or listening to a podcast in the background.

The TV is always playing in the background, especially sports.
If I only have 1-2 tournament tables, I usually read online.
Maybe I listen to music while playing.

Now in general, because of the war, I can’t concentrate, and there are explosions outside the window, often when playing I get distracted by all this, plus I watch streams along the way, I want to concentrate on the game, but I can’t
