do you play when "bored'?

I can understand playing with " play " money when bored, however, to me anyway, that makes it a "practice" session, and ultimately you play like you practice.

I agree play money is practice playing. I thought I was playing a bot on a practice table last weekend. Turned out the site was giving away free chips! Lol that killed my boredom!

I play when bored usually on weekends, but I still play well aside from an occasional cooler.

When I am bored I don't concentrate. So I don't play when I am bored, not even for fun. Play for money when you can concentrate and keep ur mind on the game.

Never get bored

Don't play with a headache though, it will just make the headache worse

you really should not play if you are tired or bored because of the concentration. and not drunk

but there are also players that are very good drunk

I agree that playing if your bored may not be optimal for a winning strategy, but for some people I can see them playing a tourney or sitting at a table for a bit for some quick entertainment--

I dont see anything wrong with a little entertainment now and again

The reason I started playing again was boredom. It's more mentally stimulating than video games and not as mentally taxing as back to back chess games against decent players. Of course when I get some fool stalling early in a tournament this means I'm a very unpleasant person at the table. I'm there to have fun and someone is ruining my fun (and my chance to cash later, which is after all the point, even if I am playing for fun). I get really mouthy in ways decent players really dislike. Talking about tools like HUDs and such. I tilted half a table last night before busting out on tilt myself. I wish I had disposable income and that Full Tilt allowed US players, I miss Rush poker even though I was definitely not a winning player!

when bored never play cash games, if tourney going on i do allin in n shut down
