I think the more you focus on something specific, the more concentration you get towards it. It's kind of like exercising. The more you do a certain routine the easier it gets every day. At least that's what I found.

Well most of the times i listen to music.It relaxes me and i make good decisions during plays.

You just need to maintain an interest in the game, find a way to make it entertaining for you. Such as predicting what someone will do, or what hands they may have. See if you are right, and then make some more predictions.

After many hours at a table it is easy to get bored, throwing another table in the mix can help to keep you interested. If its too much, then find another interest in the table you are currently playing. Maybe put on some music.

If i for instance have someone watching TV in the background, ill put music on to help counteract that. I cant listen to interesting things in the background if i want to focus, no matter what my ears and brain will catch it and start listening. After that my focus will shift to at least 50% on the background noise, so i have to counteract this with my own gray noise. Thats usually when i put some music on.

Ideally i would want a place that is distraction free to play in, this for sure would help to maintain focus.

just relaxing music, when all is well at home

And I 'm just a minimum of 2 of the table , otherwise I get bored , I start to play a wider range of hands , the risk is not justified and merge .

focus on everyhand as if it was the only hand you had to play... I just lost AA v A9 preflop all in for 90% of my stack by runner runner, came back for $300 and 2nd out of 1082 people.

You can keep the concentration when playing late at night, when the body is not very active.)))

coffee will kill your concentration, because you become more active and less patient

I play with a card deck.. Just stay there mixing the cards, throwing them from one hand to the other in a fancy way heheh..

I agree with Tick33. Works for me...
have a plan
study your table and opponents
take notes for use in the future (sometime's helps)
play and expect to win
play smart and be patient

I'm surprised that out of all the post, no one said drugs. There a several legal drugs that improves focus. May this community isn't as degen as others. That's a good thing
