The word says it all focus your attention when playing poker on everything you mentalize it before you start send a message to your celebrant saying think firmly on your game strategy obey it, concentrate on that then you can listen to music i like gym songs stimulate my celebro love training causes huge physical exhaustion as the desire to play and be playing and over time you get used to it, the only problem I like to hear in a loud sound that potentiates everything but basically that is mental concentration first.

Maintaining concentration is difficult, but if I go to play a hand I concentrate on playing it, it is difficult for me not to stay bored if they do not give me good cards to play, there I try to listen to music, watch a video in the meantime.:(

I try to watch the other players when I am not in the hand.

I usually have a youtube video going for background.

During the session, I explain why I make this or that decision. I try to think as much as possible only about the game and not be distracted by other things.

Training to focus on one thing in a certain period of time

There is a fairly simple, but really effective method for increasing attention. It will help you develop the habit of doing exactly what you need to do for a long time.

The essence of the method is to listen to instrumental music. Just sit down and close your eyes. Now choose one instrument for yourself, a violin, a piano, or any other of those that are in the composition. Try to imagine its sound for several minutes, completely ignoring all other sounds. Then go to another tool.

You can spend only 10 minutes a day on such a simple workout, and the benefits from it will be huge.

While I play I concentrate on listening to music and drinking coffee or some other drink. Always alone in a room

I took some advise a few years back and started to listen to meditation music and found it help me a lot. Not only did my concentration become better but the tilt I used to have at time became much less. Really worth it in my opinion.

While playing, I make sure that I cannot be distracted.
I take enough time for breaks so that I drink and eat enough in between poker.

I know exactly how this sounds, but I stand by it. Before a tournament, and during every five minute break, I meditate. Vipassana meditation - I'm not religious - is my anti-tilt medication. Not just for poker, it's been lifechanging. Even the concept of trying to notice when you're tilting is itself a form of meditation. Vipassana is sharpening that focus.

I sit under a waterfall and let the icy water take all the puzzlement from my thoughts. So I'm ready to play!​

If I'm quiet, calm, alone at home, that's how I like to play the most. Watching TV sometimes too, or listening to music. I can't concentrate if I'm working or thinking about something else ...:cool::cool:
