Side activities when playing poker

xliuksasx · Jan 17, 2024

What you are doing when playing poker on the side? For example listening music and what music do you listen?

If I'm playing in more of 5 tables, I do nothing but play.
If not, I check the new posts on Cardschat, play some wordles or watch some youtube podcasts

I like to play chess and dominoes

I try to do nothinh apart from playing poker. When I do other things I tend to find myself losing attention to poker.

I listened to music often earlier, until 2022. I am from Ukraine and now for the second year I listen to the news almost all the time.

it interferes with the concentration of the game, because poker is a game of attention, etc

When I play I concentrate 100% on poker.

Young people today seem to get bored only doing one thing. I'm sure some check their phones during sex.

playing spotify only most of times and enjoying a great music while suffering an annoying bad beat =)

i like watching some youtube on the side.

Inabit · Jan 18, 2024

I like to have some non distracting music on in the background, things like instrumental soundtracks or something that sounds relaxing.

Rosylly · Jan 18, 2024

I listen to music or watch something on YT, sometimes scrolling something, in fact i'm playing right now...

The only thing I do when playing poker is playing poker. I do listen too meditation music when i play and sometime pet the cat when she parks herself on my lap but overall, I just concentrate on playing poker.

luk0123 · Jan 18, 2024

I tru just to focus 100% on poker. It's not always possible but when I'm distracted I tend to do some silly mistakes.

NootNoot · Jan 18, 2024

Like a few others I try to give my full attention to the game. The only distraction I'll have is background music.

Different for everyone, but I think I'd start to question why I'm playing if I started to do other things too. If it's too boring to hold my attention then how much am I actually enjoying it? If I'm unable to concentrate on just the game then is it the game for me?

If I was really good (I'm not) I suppose it could become so easy that it's no longer a challenge, but then I'd move up in stakes to test myself, knowing that I need to start focusing again to win at a higher level.

When I play poker, I play poker. Outside activities distract me.

scobido · Jan 18, 2024

In general, when I play poker, I open at most two tables and listen to the music of the 70s and 80s.

RustyRed83 · Jan 18, 2024

Doing anything from playing games, watching tv/movies, messing about with my phone. I do find poker boring at times.

hamon08 · Jan 18, 2024

If I'm playing at one or two tables, I can turn on some YouTube video and watch it, if I'm playing at 5 tables at the same time, I just listen to music, usually classical or just chill music, in rare cases, rock

Well, I'm not that young then 😅

Ingryd · Jan 18, 2024

E I like listening to pop, Ed Sheeran and Taylor swift

yogo9 · Jan 18, 2024

I don't do any side activities when playing poker they distract me, I just play and focus only in my game.

choprav · Jan 18, 2024

I almost always am listening to music, occasionally having a wee drink, but later in the tournaments and eating food like crisps, nuts and popcorn ahahaha. I also make some moves in various online chess games that I play concurrently
