[soccerfreakjj10]

I used to have a bad habit of visiting inappropriate sites when playing poker. NOT good for my game...

KIDDING BTW, not a pervert

 

[IamBP]

As I said in the bad habits thread, I play a lot of freecell, surf the internet, listen to music, or watch. Sometimes I do all four at one time. I guess I post on here on occasion too. I am in the CC Freeroll and the $1 MTT tourny on bodog right now.

I believe you.

 

[pokerblonde777]

Right now I am all about the AIM free radio station Music City Christmas while I play. My favorite part about the holidays besides time off is the music.

 

[Chiefer]

read this forum.

 

[allndave]

so now i understand all the slow play , and i just thought you guys had a tough decision ,on every hand lol

 

[cparr1980]

what do i do

Watch a movie mostly....sometimes eat lunch or dinner.....or just play poker...LOL

 

[beautifuled]

I think if you get to a table just lay low until it's your turn to get on a streak then watch out. Lot's of times after a lucky streak comes some bit cards that don't hold up.

 

[JRaD]

I HAVE JUST COME THE DECISION no more slow playing shit... lol.. AA and KK... blah.. some ass always hits whatever... blah... open push now

 

[pok morse]

usually i have to keep an eye on the kids,and dogs and dinner and laundry so i stay pretty busy while playin...mabey to busy

 

[nudist30]

I always play in the nude, and I also listen to music and/or watch tv while I am playing in a long tournament. To be able to be completely relaxed can lead to boredom. I need to make sure my mind is working on the tournament but also has time to take a timeout so to speak LOL

 

[CromMitra]

just crank the tunes for the most part.usually Slayer or Rush or some other heavy pounding metal. if i don't crank the tunes i'll just play 3 or 4 tables to keep the action steady.if you can get a table with a lot of regular's that good too cause the chatting is usually good for some laughs.can't follow a movie or T.V. and keep good focus on the game though.

 

[JRaD]

true that, It's hard to break my focus by somehow the neighbor dog found out how so I pretty much shot him with my wrist rocket lol

 

[nightmoves44]

while

I should add that watching a good movie while playing is mainly during a tourney.It keeps me from jumping in when I dont have a very good hand.Also makes the slow player thats always at a table from gettin under my skin.Ive won tourneys doing this.I should add that I do give poker my full attention at the last table and in ring games.Watching Tv is alot better than silence,i cant handle that.

 

[ChrisKub]

I usually listen to music and make sure I'm playing at least 3 tables(even if one has to be play money.

 

[riffpoker]

Just about anything you can think of

 

[Genso Hikki]

I usually yell at my kids, "would you two PLEASE be quiet so I can concentrate?!?"

Never works though.

 

[JRaD]

hmmm good call my dog is always craving attention but I end up spending a ton on bones for him to keep him occupied lol

 

[pkrplr4116]

Confession time: I used to ALWAYS read email, go to CC and read/post, surf the web, etc. Then, I noticed I was losing a small fortune. But what to do while playing that would help me concentrate on my game? Really, there was only 1 solution; play 1 or 2 impt games (impt to me) and 1 or 2 FRs. this way, I can't open any browsers and have to watch all four games. My games has improved since doing this. for the first time in forever, I either came in the $$ or won my satellite seat every day for 3 days on Stars. It works! Uh, now I gotta go, I'm in two real games and I'm not supposed to be blogging

yeah I get sidetracked but I actually find that it helps me, cause if I lose a big hand to a stupid german lol jk... but if I do lose a hand then I just quickly throw on some good musica and myspace it or something

 

[Genso Hikki]

It seems to help me if I'm doing something besides playing poker. If I'm reading or chatting or whatever, it keeps me from playing out of boredom. For some reason, doing that always ends in disaster for me.
