Do you continue to watch the final table of a game that you are out of? And if so, do you watch right to the end? I'm finding myself watching for a while but only with specific games that I play regularly as I am learning some of the players. I'm not sure if it's helping my game at all but it is interesting to watch how they play, especially once heads up.

10% of the time or if there's a pro playing.

I used to watch. It was interesting who will be in 1st place and generally watched the game, but now I'm not interested and I don't waste time on this.

I only watch big tournaments, because a final table game with professionals is very different from a game with amateur players, it totally changes the hand onslaught!

No, when I'm out, I'm not overly interested who wins it.

Additionally on a final table most hands are not taken to showdown so you don't really see which hands are being played.

it's absolutely not interesting who will play how and who will take the first place, a waste of time, about “studying the opponent” is a dubious idea, firstly, when I meet with him, this is a big question , secondly, if I'm back with him at the final table tomorrow, it's not a guarantee that he will play the same way he played yesterday

I think it depends on how high the buy in was and whether online or live. Generally, I am first annoyed and leave the tournament if it is an online tournament. On the other hand, I've never played in tournaments where the stakes were high. But in the end I always end up showing little interest in being a spectator. :)

yes, you are doing the right thing by watching the final table, but only watch professional players, they have something to learn, I think it will be more correct than the players you lost to

I find I am watching the table to the end if there are people who are there that I find interest in <3 personally. I tend to continue to root for people even if they knock me out.
I love the community that is here in CC <3 BUT OG poster, that is an great idea :p I should use it as a tool too :) Have the best day everyone!

Sometimes, but usually I am so dissappointed that I close the table to gather myself.

Rarely 5-10 minutes, but if I catch a cooler, I don’t watch it and generally turn everything off

Good afternoon.Only if a friend reached the final table, I would watch it.But,in most of the cases,when I´m out of the tournament , I start playing another tournament and forget about the last game that I have played.

Watching replays of the final tables of the big online tournaments is really good.
Myself, I have little time to do this, and I always enjoy watching the actions of other players.
There are even some youtube channels that have done this very well.

I usually don't watch the FT of the tournaments that I've played. Sometimes I watch tables of some big tournaments to see how those players play the game.
