I always prefer playing on my phone for convenience. But I have to admit I'm more focused on the computer.

I like it better on my phone, I don't know why, but it gives me more freedom.

To be honest, I'm more comfortable using my mobile phone; I've never liked computers, I only use them when I have more than 5 tables open.

On mobile it feels more casual and easier to get distracted, while on desktop I tend to take things more seriously.


Do you notice a difference in your play depending on what device you use?
I like mobile the best, I can wander around the house, fix a drink, answer the door, go out in garage and smoke, let the animals in or out.
For me it just makes me more mobile. Lol

I enjoy more playing on my laptop than on my phone.

Desktop all day long for me, it's not even close.

I can see why people like mobile for a quick casual session on the couch, but if we're talking about real focus and grinding, desktop is a must. You need the big screen to multi-table properly, track your HUD, and actually take solid player notes.

I currently play mainly on the cell phone, but I prefer on the computer - because of the ease of opening multiple screens and poker tables.

I’m actually the opposite, I focus more when playing on my phone because it’s almost impossible to switch between poker and something else during the game. But in terms of preference, I still prefer the computer since it’s easier to check the tournament data.

I'm used to multitable +10 tables, and is not possible on the phone.
I just use the phone in case of an emergency.

Mobile on tablet works best for me. More comfortable and I feel more relaxed and at ease. My concentration and decision making are better than on a pc I feel.

Playing on your phone isn't a serious approach to poker. The exception is probably when your computer experiences unexpected issues while a tournament is already in progress. Also, if you have four or fewer tables, I have a friend who plays 10+ tournaments simultaneously, and switching to a phone is impossible in that case.

It depends on the platform; for example, the Replay Poker App on a computer has more features than on a mobile phone, as it's not possible to read chat messages. Screen size also greatly influences this decision, but nowadays there are phones and Apps that offer integration with external monitors.

Actually tablet setup works me the best. It is way more comfortable than clicking with mouse and also a lot more nicer than playing with tiny phone screen. Playing one table with a tab is the best setup ever.

I do prefer to play on my computer. It's possible to play 2 poker sites at once. When two important games are at the same time.
But I do play a little casino or a Sit & Go on my phone, occasionally.

It's the same for me, I only focus well when I'm not busy with something and have enough time to play without being disturbed.

I definitely prefer desktop. Being able to quickly type in my exact bet sizes is a huge advantage, and the layout is much better for cleanly tiling and tracking multiple tournaments at the same time.

I find that I’m much more focused on a desktop. The larger screen, better table visibility, and fewer distractions make it easier to analyze situations and make better decisions.

Mobile is great for convenience, but I usually treat it as a more casual option. For long sessions or when playing multiple tables, I strongly prefer a computer.
