Do You Fidget While Playing?

I used to..

I used to, however it was a problem because poker requires patience and focus in order to take decisions, now I go to park and run before starts a session, it reduces the amount of energy on my body!
 
In general, I don’t suffer from this, and I don’t understand why do any movements that can distract you from the game?
 
Guess it depends, but I do certain other things while playing if not fidgeting. I fidget in general with whatever I've got around me, but I also do other things while playing, in particular if I only play one or two tables. If it's something important and I concentrate or if I play several tables at the same time, then I don't cause I don't have time to do anything as I have to click at least once every second. So, that suffices my fidgeting needs.
 
I'll shuffle chips on occasion but yeah I'm usually fidgeting in some way.

I don't play live tho so other than it being a poor habit I don't think it will cost you too much or be that negative
 
There are days when we get more into the game and there are days when we play to the full, but there are also days when we don't even want to look at a poker table...
 
Technically I don't just sit there and fidget but I can't just sit still and play one game. I need to have multiple games on the go, while watching TV, chatting in a forum and possibly doing a pit of cross stitch.

I'm sure it all affects my game but if I am not like this I just lose interest in whatever I am doing (even things outside of poker).
 
Hell yea,I do all kinds of stuff so im not bored outta my mind playing. I play multiple games or workout or whatever all while watching TV or something. Gotta keep the add..adhd and whatever else im supposed to have..lol. good luck 🍺.
 
I am not fidgeting while playing, rather I am thinking not to ruin me in a hand with bad luck in a tournament. That stresses me a lot😀
 
I like to use Play-Do like a stress ball, also I like the smell, [emoji23]… otherwise I have an actual stress ball that I play with sometimes while I’m playing, I also do a lot of post it notes while I playing…with sharpies or markers. Writing mainly mental notes, goals for the day, or adjustments I need to make to fix leaks in my game. I’m definitely fidgety in process, keeping focus on the action online and timing gaps between moves when I have time to write.

I also like to play RollerCoin between hands sometimes on my phone or browser. It’s a crypto mining simulator with short cool arcade games you can play and earn free crypto at fractions of a cent. Kinda silly, but I like the game itself, so, yeah, haha. Here’s a link if anyones interested: https://rollercoin.com/?r=ksy0dn4h


I used to play with a fidget spinner but I found it too distracting, lol


Peace, Love, and Chicken Grease!!! 🙂))))))
 
Never fidget but definitely not my full attention, usually doing three other things, which isn't optimal style lol
 
I try to play well, but sometimes I play lying in bed))🙂🙂🙂🙂
 
if we talk about the beginning of the tournament, then I often listen to music or watch some easily accessible videos on YouTube / streams on twitch, but if it is a late stage or sng tournaments, then I play with maximum concentration
 
Yes, I also try to keep my hands busy while playing poker. This helps me calm down and focus on the game.

I normally always have a deck of cards in my hand or my rubiks cube whilst playing online. IT just gives my hands something to do.

Hi.
I usually do something on my smartphone. Although it is not very good, but this is already my habit 🙂
 
I usually play in more than one tournament, which means, I don't have time to do anything else but play, but when I'm in a single tournament, I usually answer messages
 
no, not when even if I lose a large amount of money for myself))) you can’t be nervous and succumb to emotions
 
Nope. Don’t want to get in a fidgeting habit. I always try to keep a calm demeanor physically
 
Good day. Usually a towel or flannel in my hands because they sweat a lot when I'm in an important game, this past weekend, I played a Sunday Storm, it was very hot, I didn't have air conditioning, I sweat to the spirit the towel on the floor for my feet, don't make it past the first day, I feel like I'm going down two sizes
