Depends if I am serious about maximizing my profit than I would be taking notes for reference in the future. (Usually ring game or the occasional larger bi mtt.)

If Im playing a mtt (usually play low micro 1 or 2 bux or freeroll) where it is more for amusement and not likely to run into same player at game I care about than the answer would be....drinking a lot of beer.

haha, perfect response. I focus more if it's late in the tourney, but when I'm grinding day in day out, it's good to have music/other distractions going, even if it cuts in my profitability by a little as I regain it by not burning out as easily which lets me play more games which = more profit.

When I log on and jump into a micro Mtt I'm usually not too focused on the game until 2nd or 3rd break sometimes not until final table. Usually just lurk the forums here.

If it's a bigger game that I've planned ahead of time to play I tend to just focus on the game.

If it's a micro mtt I usually put on some netflix or youtube. If it's a mtt with a bigger buy in or a cash game then I am focusing on the game and taking notes.

Ideally, you should be focusing on your tables... this is in a perfect world...

I try and only keep music on, or stay on a skype call with buddies to keep the poker talk going and keep my mind from straying away from the task at hand

I usually listen music, but sometimes I watch sport or maybe chat on facebook, or maybe write some posts on cardschat like at this moment :)

Pandora, TV on in the background or I go complete silence mode focused.

Use old school AIM as well since I have buddies that play poker and we all like to chat while we're in the middle of our sessions or what not. And I shouldn't have to clarify this but no not in a cheating manner, just to talk about how we're doing on the day, joke around, bullshit about our lives, different hands we've played, strategy etc.

Focus. :p

Usually I listen to some music, and depending on the number of tables, I could read threads in forum, emails, internet, etc.

Music, chat sometimes unless I'm playing like two hypers or 6 cash tables and have like zero time to do anything else before it's my turn to act somewhere.

I don't understand people who can mass-table, and in a sense I'm in awe of them -- especially people who mass-table relatively fast formats like 6max, such as Ducky. I very rarely play more than 4 tables of anything.
