Message: [QUOTE="antonis32123, post: 4871639, member: 127517"] Watching soccer or sth else , a movie , a youtube clip , a stream is sth I believe I cannot avoid , to fill the ''gaps'' between the hands , cause I usualy play one game or two . But I admit , it really disorientate you from the game sometime . The time comes when I have an important hand for the continuation of my tournament life and instead of already having made a strategy plan or begin calculating my moves instantly , I see that at the last moment when the poker client window appears infront of the other app or windows (pops up it's called?? :confused:) . Then only 10-15 sec I have to make my decision . Like yesterday 2.20 knockout , I had QQ on the SB , MP+1 raised x2 , I don't remeber exactly blinds but I had 20bb more than him and we were both good , he had enough , no info on him . I made bad reraise cause I didn't think correctly/ I was distracted , I made not the right cbet on the 2 clubs flop cause no A,K ,but wrong cbt after the distraction , one mistake after the other:(, again mistake small raise 1/4 on the club card turn , he shoved 15-20 blinds or more I don't remember , A10 , Aof clubs , club on the river . Disaster , complete sucker , got furious , he called me a fish and sth else-I didn't look cause I felt embarrassed . 2 hands later MP+2?? raised , CU reraised big , tournament go to H$LL :o I said ,I shoved K4s 20bb oop from SB or BU was it :D Completely angry I was I wanted this game to end , I didn't want to go on playing , and made a present of 0.75$ bounty to a player , he had AA :D . I continued to watch my youtube videos :D What I want to say is although I know it costs me money sometimes , not rarely , I need to do sth more during my games , either watching youtube or movie or athletic event and this habit I cannot stop it . BUT when I go deep on a tournament , I concetrate only to the tournement , everything else is switched off/closed , this is a rule I don't break . So if you can play just poker without any distractions-congratulations , keep on doing that , if you cannot , just be more carefull on the poker and play one table imo . If you are like me , you will need a lot of luck :rolleyes:But if you are good/very good , you know better what to do ;) By the way I think this happens at the live games as well , besides the cold-face players who don't do anything else but to stare at you and try not to give tells or the other who talk all the time more or lesss , there are many players playing with their androids or listening to music or doing sth else . :) [/QUOTE]
