How do you concentrate when playing poker?

FoxMS · Aug 16, 2020

This is not a problem for me. I only play poker for 2-3 hours a day, so I can easily stay focused during that time.

I usually play 4 tables in silence.

Well ... it is very important to always be very focused ... and one of the techniques I learned in order not to lose concentration is to know that even if you do not have direct action in a hand ... you must be attentive to the movements of your opponents ... that will help keep you focused and also have a better reading of your opponents ...!

I concentrate listening to quiet music, but if an important distribution starts, I turn everything off and sit in silence.

I do not concentrate because I play to relax.

I lessen the number of tables I play. Sometimes it is possible. Like when I got cash games in paralell. Or when there is a reasonable opportunity to play All-in.

When I fold pre-flop, I only pay 50% of my attention. To understand my opponents moves I need to concentrate more, but 50% is the sweet spot to keep my mind fresh.

Hi all!

Being energetic, having rested, wanting to play, being really free to face poker hands, enjoying the game. When there is a predisposition, concentration is taken for granted, on the other hand when conditions are not favorable I have to fight a bit to obtain it.

I like to listen to music too, rock, but not so heavy at least when it comes to playing poker

19aleks57 · Sep 18, 2020

I play a poker tournament in a separate room to focus on.

CERRATO505 · Sep 18, 2020

I play cell music, soundtracks at a medium volume

snakedog007 · Sep 18, 2020

Live, I either want to be there or not, the focus is there. I believe invested in figuring the people out over the cards, and until i can do that cards help a ton.

Online, anything for light noise. nothing towards sporting events or movie. Just a light music feed or comedy.

Boodah420 · Sep 18, 2020

I listen to music or watch light videos on youtube. Sometimes online poker can be boring

rdwr33 · Sep 18, 2020

hi. I sometimes listen to music, watch news, watch social media, like to eat, chat with other friends. it all helps me to relax.

vsawake01 · Sep 18, 2020

Usually I try to catch a wave. Can help listen nice voice (not a music), reading something

CliffieDeuce · Sep 20, 2020

My biggest problem is I don't concentrate enough.

What I have found to help me is play poker video's in the background. I guess my mind will not just be hearing the banter but will keep focused on poker. No sure why it works.

I need silence no music or tv who can distract me.

I listen to rock music to focus on the poker tables , what do you do?

Listening to music that you like or relax, you should not be distracted by watching social networks while playing, the type of music that I listen to the most is electronic and when I want to motivate myself I listen to hip hop

mj22 · Sep 23, 2020

Music is the first and important thing, cause if i win it hypes me up and play better.
snacks on breaks.
a well organized setup for my desktop to enjoy more playing, and a comfy chair for my back of course.

I need silence so that I can make decisions at the tables in peace.

zaza123123 · Sep 27, 2020

drink coffee relax

UM3SH · Sep 27, 2020

I drinks coffee and listen my favourite genre of music, i.e, Rock for concentration.

horscht22 · Sep 28, 2020

I listen to my playlist and take a drink

MrPokerVerse · Sep 28, 2020

If I'm having trouble concentrating, then should be doing something else. Always information at the table to keep the mind in the game. When that can't be achieved, time to move on.

NDim · Sep 28, 2020

I just try to think only about the game and get other thoughts out of my head.
