It is not about boredom at all. Poker is exciting and I wish to improve my game. Part of this process is resisting the temptation to play a wide range of hole cards which often results in the burning of chips chasing draws and many reluctant folds in response to the many aggressive players. This results in the hero having to wait patiently for hands that have a higher percentage of success. So I often give in to the temptation of doing something else to occupy my time in between playable hands.

Another reason why I tend to engage in other activities while I play online poker is my regular online activities which clash with scheduled CC freerolls. I am a national bridge player and have regular tournaments. Since covid hit, our club games have switched to online and that happens at 2:30 on a Saturday and often overlaps. I enjoy participating in CC tournaments and activities and have decided to make the effort to play more freerolls and special events to build a poker bankroll and win some merchandise respectively.

I find live games more engaging since there is so much more to observe about your opponents and easier to partake in friendly conversation.  Playing online has been quite a struggle because of the absence of face-to-face interaction. I have had to make the change to finding online tells which of course can be done purposefully by the opponents, like think time and speed of checks if fold to any bet is checked and so on.

I take it from your response that you focus only on poker while playing online. Am I correct?
