Concentration

Narciso · May 15, 2017

i friends, this discussion is with regard to concentration because I came to a simple conclusion of my way of playing, for example: When I play alone without someone around, I can do well, but when there are colleagues who are with me in the same place where Game, I can not even pass in the first phases of the tournament, complicated because I do not know what to do in this situation, does anyone have an idea of what can be done?

Fine balance between paying attention and losing focus. Some players use conversation and banter to distract the other players. If you are playing with buddies and having a good time, its best to not let yourself get away from the cards in front of you. Always play the same way you would normally

That happens because your concentration gets divided and splits up into different parts and you start finding interest in more stuff rather than your poker game, instead focus on your game only and ignore all your surroundings!

Have you ever felt so bored at the table that you did not know what to do? The cards are not in your favor, the action is slow and it seems that each hand takes forever to complete. Do not worry; You're not the only one down with this situation. It is human nature that helps us achieve good results at any time in life: our brain is always looking for something to worry about and if the activity at the moment does not satisfy this need, it will start to look for something else to think about .
When you notice the first signs that this is happening you need to remember why you are sitting at the table. You want to win, right? And even if you're at the table just for fun (and, remember, winning is fun too), there are things you can do to keep your thoughts from getting away from the poker table.

Happens to me all the time when someone is watching me when i play live. I try not to acknowledge that theyre even there

Have you tried blaming your friends for losing? Yelling at them? Then apologizing?

nutthink · May 15, 2017

my problem about concentration is I play freeroll in 03.00 Early morning i get sleepy.. so hard to focus so i would like to play my poker game when my friend around..

SweatPea · May 15, 2017

Yes concentration is key i can play well live with the distractions because of the envoirment , online different story.

The better we feel, the more effectively we can concentrate. If we are tired, sick or hungry, our ability to concentrate decreases, because this requires a certain amount of energy. No energy - no concentration! To fully concentrate on the game of poker, you need to eat well, you need to sleep well and be healthy.

sounds like a plan to me :rofl:

concentration is a key skill, that and patience (and not losing your concentration while being patient^^)
I fail so often to stay focused, I have two monitors and a teli behind me

however, maybe it would help to go playing more often alone than with your friends and every time with your friends, visualize yourself being alone (when I read that again it sounds a bit stupid cause you probably already tried that...just yell them seriously^^)

I like action at the table, if I go card dead for a few orbits I sometimes find myself reaching with a hand or call I wouldn't normally make.

Andrew Popov · May 15, 2017

You need to start playing several tables at the same time. This will prevent you from being distracted by chatter. If you want to play poker not only for fun, but also to actually win money - you need to focus on the game. And take it more seriously than entertain.

Poker is an individual game, and it requires a lot of concentration when there are close friends as children friends or even the wife can draw her concentration where all other table players are 100% focused, this can get in the way of you in the long run

Bullsh*t!!!! if he plays several tables at the same time, he wILL LOSE!!!!!

Narciso, u have to start to meditate.
The surrounding environment is irrelevant when you learn to meditate.

widron2s · May 15, 2017

The best thing to do is find a pair of headphones and put them in when you aren't playing a hand. Most people who play online poker always have headphones in and that very well could be your problem.

AvovchikA · May 15, 2017

If it's daytime, I do push-ups
At night, I do not act, I fall asleep ... sometimes even on finals

Diegol · May 15, 2017

Well try to stay focus and study the game, if you know what you are doing you don't need that much of attention

Narciso · May 15, 2017

Well, my friends play it too, all online, and I like when they are around, I will try not to lose focus and talk to them to play more concetrados too, because I see that they do not have good results, either When we are together, we learn a lot from each other because we talk about strategies and discussions in general.
Thank you friends!

Yes. But!
If he can not play several tables at the same time - he can not cope with players who make it easy. And he will lose all the same. It's just a matter of skill.

This is a different level of the game - a player who can not concentrate on one table against players who play a lot. He simply has no chance.

I have a similar situation when I'm playing alone I can concentrate and play calmly and be completely relaxed) But if you are going to play live turins, then of course you need to learn not to pay attention to the surrounding people and obstanovku! I think it's difficult to advise something concrete, I think this can be learned with experience!

bravissim0 · May 15, 2017

I do not think that something affects professional players. Apparently you are a beginner player, eventually it will pass

Yes I do not know what to advise, the same thing happens to me!

You should play when you are alone

firstcrack · May 16, 2017

Fortunately for me, I was adopted by some very special people who really put me to the test during my formative years. I feel I am very prepared and have a keen sense of focus, as a result. Only thing is, my mind does have a tendency to wander off for a spell when things get really challenging, but not in a bad way. For example, I remember the time my mentor kept challenging me to snatch a pebble from his hand. Sounds easy enough, but it took me forever to be able to do it. This was a real confidence booster and it really honed my concentration skills. On another occasion, and really my final test of focus and concentration, I had to carry this super hot cauldron for quite some distance usi only my bare forearms! Anyway, I think you get the picture. Life was tough for me but I really did learn some important lessons that I've been able to carry with me to the poker table.
