The question is certainly interesting, all the time watching the lord of the rings - bored, I prefer to communicate on the forum, when others are thinking over my all-in

Focusing on your game is the most important aspect of poker. There is so much information you need to keep track of when it comes to your opponents you can't afford to be distracted.

Can be anything to do during the poker game. The main thing that it would not affect the outcome and income.

I think you should focus on poker;
You stop paying attention to your opponents when you watch movies. But I like to listen to music while I play.

I run the risk of being accused of repeating myself but,
I'm just a mere male and multitasking is just not possible, with my masculine brain.

when I play tournaments I try to focus on other things for a short while every time the opportunity occurs. After a brake I come back more concentrated.

good luck at the tables!!!

If you want to win money on poker you need to focus on your game all time. Believe me, this is impossible to watch movies or youtube and in that time win money on poker. If you play just for fun of course you can do that. But if you want money you need to focus on the game. The maximum that you can do is take some relax music. This can helps you to keep your patience.

Couldn't agree more!! You need to focus on the game and music is the best way for me.. Sometimes I watch TV but only when I play freerolls where most players go all-in for the first 30 minutes so strategy doesn't count much.

It's always interesting to hear that some people can't focus on poker and need some other kind of visual or audible stimulant. I guess the way to think about it is, if you were playing live at a casino etc would you pop a film on your mobile phone....or would you focus on what is going on and maybe chat to other players?

While playing poker I listen to music usually. But not always. Sometimes you need silence.

I try to concentrate on playing poker, noticing little things and figuring my opponents out, even though that may seem boring at times. If it's a deep run and i've been playing for a fairly long time I listen to music sometimes to get distracted from doing something stupid or unnecessary lol.
