i never play mobile, only desktop (or live with friends sometimes). In my oppinion, mobile would be too relaxed, casual, no focus at all
 
For me, it's better on my laptop; the screen on my phone is too small, I don't think I can concentrate as much.
 
I've played on both platforms and I concentrate better playing on a computer. When I play on my phone, I'm usually watching TV, which makes it hard to focus.
 
i plaay more focused on laptop then on phone also better connection on latop
 
I definitely prefer playing on a computer, mainly because I like playing multiple tables at the same time, and that’s not really possible on a phone.
 
It depends on the type of game and the player's goals, as both platforms offer different experiences.The large screen, high-quality graphics and sound help you fully immerse yourself in the gameplay, blocking out external distractions.The keyboard and mouse provide high precision, which is critical in competitive gaming, which requires maximum concentration.
 
Im definitely much more focused on the desktop Laptop or PC . I dont like to play from mobile or do other things . Good luck .
 
I didn't notice a difference.
If you take a game/tournament seriously, then I don't think the device matters.
 
Do you feel more focused playing on desktop or mobile?

For most players, desktop wins when it comes to focus. A larger screen, better multitabling, and fewer distractions make it easier to stay locked in and make sharp decisions.

Mobile, though, has its own appeal. It’s convenient, flexible, and perfect for quick session but it can also invite distractions and limit how much information you can process at once.

Desktop = control, clarity, and deep focus
Mobile = convenience, speed, and flexibility

At the end of the day, your best setup is the one where you can stay disciplined and fully engaged.
 
In my case, I prefer playing on the computer; eliminating distractions is essential for a successful game. But I also play on my smartphone when I can't avoid it.

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

Yes, i prefer to play on computer, where i have more focus while playing.
 
I find it difficult to play on my phone. I've had the experience of being in important tournaments and having to stop playing to answer a message.

I mostly play on my laptop, and whenever I am grinding multiple tables across different poker clients, I like to hook it up to my big 34-inch monitor. It just makes everything feel more organized and easier to follow.

On top of that, I usually have YouTube running in the background, watching stuff about finance, markets or poker streams. It kind of puts me in the zone and helps me stay engaged without getting distracted.

The funny thing is, when I am playing on that big screen setup, I m actually really disciplined. I take my time, think through decisions and stick to solid strategy. But when I am out somewhere and playing on my phone, its a completely different story.
I get impatient, start playing weak hands and make bad decisions way more often, which usually ends in losses.

Honestly, I think it just comes down to habit. Over the past 5-7 year, I have trained myself to focus properly at my desk, but I havent built that same level of discipline on my phone.
 
too hard to play many tables and see the action on a phone . if you can do it nice job !
 
I've never played on mobile and I don't plan to.
It's important for me to be able to focus properly while playing, and for that I need one or two large monitors.

100% on desktop. On mobile, it’s harder for me to take tournaments seriously. Plus, it’s much more comfortable on a computer with a good setup, which makes it easier and more enjoyable to stay focused while playing.
 
Yes, I definitely notice a difference. On desktop I’m much more focused better screen space, easier note-taking, and fewer distractions, so decisions feel more deliberate. On mobile it’s more casual; I tend to play fewer tables, rely more on instinct, and it’s easier to get distracted or rush spots. Because of that, I treat mobile as light play or lower stakes, and keep serious sessions for desktop where I can stay fully locked in and consistent.
 
If you play one table you can focus on both desktop or App.
But if you multitable the best focus is on desktop
 
I feel much more focused playing on a computer.

Mobile is convenient, but there are more distractions and the smaller screen makes it easier to miss details. I’ve noticed I make more simple mistakes on mobile, especially in faster decisions.

On a computer it feels easier to stay engaged and think things through.
 
Without a doubt on the computer, on the cell phone I don't think I could play
 
desktop can add some quality of play but mobile can add the availability.
