I don't get bored after 2 hours, actually for me it gets more interesting towards the end. But look at the bright side, you must be a good player since you get passed 2 hours often enough to become boring.

i do

i get bored when the tourney is to long. mostly the 10 dollar free rolls. when the blinds are 10 min. and might not even play a hand they will go on a 5 min. break so they get over 300 and on weekends might even get 400 players i think they need to pay more then 10 dollars. or go to 5 min. blinds.

Dealing with boredom

I've actually never been bore while actually playing a poker game. I can play 16 hours straight on a weekend day and I'm just as into it on hour 16 as I was when I started.

Now, what does happen to me is after I've played a tourney for hours and just barely missed the money then I it there thinking, "God I don't want to play another game." And I get bored that way, between games, but I've never had a boredom problem while playing.

What I recommend is having one style you are really good at and then another style you are trying to learn. When you start gettin bored, switch to the style you are trying to learn and maybe that will releive your boredom. Plus it will allow you to mix up your game which is always a plus.

I think many people feeling this, when they play only one table! try play more than one tables and take a patience

I do get bored. I believe I need to train my mode for it. One of the poker virtues in big money tournaments is focus and patience. I'm going towards this direction.

I often encountered this problem, I usually help a small break for ten minutes, you can see the news to talk with someone else to distract yourself

In tournaments with late registration, I enter 15-20 minutes before the end of late registration, I do not have to sit at the beginning of the tournament 1-2 hours and I get to the most interesting part of the tournament bubble:icon_tong

I would not call the passage in mtt boredom just at the beginning of the tournament you play the strategy and it becomes monatonic, I think to a man who once worked at the machine or let's wove the brooms it will be familiar. but as soon as you reach the final table, I personally have a good adrenaline rush and a second wind opens and I love poker for these feelings))))

endure, endure this most important, sometimes out of 10,000 players I took 1st place when there were 200, but because of dullness I played with all in with AJ, they beat me out, sometimes I have to endure and be able to throw such cards to enter the top nine, to survive and to throw out sometimes AK is of great importance

I can't understand how people don't sometimes get bored during long tournaments. Why? A lot of hole cards turn out to be trash hands. To play them would probably lead to the loss of hands and chips, and maybe even tournaments. So the trashy hole cards get tossed and the players can't play their hands. Over the time of a long tournament, when so many hole cards get tossed, and when so many times players can't play their hands, it leads to situations whereby they actually become on-lookers watching others play the very game for which they signed up. All things considered, that can get very boring indeed!

Sometimes i will play 2 tournaments, it keep busy and you will not get bored.
Once i played 3 tournaments at the same time, but it did not work out. I had to put one of them on autoplay.

I will be playing at least 4 tournaments at a time so no time to be bored. If you single table just find something to look at online between hands.

I will single table if I get deep in very big tournament with a bunch of money on the line but usually I'm at 4 tables at least.

I do sometimes I eat a lot of crap I shouldnt. You work so hard to stay in that long and at the end its so tedious, but I do love this stupid game so I keep on plugging.

I see a lot of erratic play a couple hours into a tournament,it`s human nature to get bored i guess.When i sit down to play poker,that`s what i do.I would suggest if you don`t feel it that day,don`t play,you won`t play well if your not motivated.;)

i start playing really well, but, passing two hours i get bored...its too long...what do you think?

I have absolutly opposite problem. For me is boring an opening stage of tournament. And when I`m ITM and especially at the final table the game gets new paints)
