Do You Fidget While Playing?

I put music while I play and sometimes I open facebook and click or chat, I only play 3 tables at a time
 
When I play poker, I don't want anything to fiddle with. I'm focused on the game.
 
Human is not designed to be totally still, this is bad for the health... I fidget with leg shaking or chin/face stroking commonly
 
When I play online, I try to get up and stretch every 15 minutes. If I am not playing more than one game at a time, I listen to music. When I play live, I try to remain as still as possible before I play in the hand. I may fidget after I fold. I try not to give away any tells in how I use my card protector, which I sometimes play with in between playing the hands.
 
I tap my fingers on the desktop incessantly.
 
Oh, I understand you. Yesterday I played with cards in my hands and I like it🙂)
 
Sometimes a work around the house or watch movies but there are times when im 100 % focus on the game
 
My fidgeting depends on the game.
Online - None - I am sitting back in my lazyboy recliner chair with my laptop. I watch television and play poker.
Live Home Game - no fidgeting - the homemade poker table is uncomfortable and I have to sit back and just fold my arms.
Live Casino Rooms - I lean forward on the comfortable padded arm rests and shuffle a few chips. Just can't manage the big stack shuffles like some players do.

Rubies cube? I've been battling that thing for years now!!! Barely starting to see the algorithms involved at this point...but will solve it eventually...
 
Live I ripple chips or just talk to people.

Online I'm usually working and playing only freerolls/low stakes tornys to keep my math on point - so I'm usually slightly distracted while playing a table, thus, boredom isn't really an issue for me. Btw I don't suggest doing other things while playing it's counter productive.
 
I especially listen to music, once on the film I surf the net when more exciting situations I focus on playing.
 
If I'm playing just one table, normally I listen music... but in multitable I try just to play.
 
I'm watching a new movie or series ..))
I can watch sports ..))
It does not stop me from playing ..)
:lollypop:
 
I have an extra monitor so I can read news or something at times when
I need to relax
 
If I feel nervous, I do not start playing poker.
But during the game, I usually listen to music.
Music always helps me focus.
 
I usually have a deck of cards as well. Makes the time pass by. I practice either card sleights or new card tricks I have learned.
 
yes

Yes. I fidget. I get excited and why not? Its online so no one sees me.
If I need to relax then I listen to music and look up things online like this forum or listen to Doug Polk. lol
 
I shuffle chips when playing online and live. Helps me focus. I also listen to music when playing online but not live.
 
Not soo much of fidgeting for me, but when it comes to a big hand I do get that sense of increased heart rate till it all comes down to the moment of reveal when there's been consistent raising.

I fidget spin at live poker.

No one has picked up my tell yet:
-Counter clockwise, I'm playing the hand
-Clockwise, I'm folding

Sometimes I throw them off even more by spinning 2 at the same time, in opposite directions.

I tend to blink and nod a lot so that everyone thinks I am insane.
