I used to watch NetFlix on my ipad while playing. Unfortunately I let pocket AA time out because i was too interested in the movie. Now i just listen to a youtube playlist in the background.

Speaking of Youtube playlists, I often listen to Let's Plays when I'm playing poker...or doing just about anything else on the computer really. There are ones I'm subscribed to that really help me relax, and others that help me perk up when I'm getting too bored. For poker, I always pick playthroughs that I don't really need to pay attention to visually to enjoy.
 
when i play poker i like to watch on youtube at some tournaments ( ept, pca, etc ), chat on facebook, football on tv, usual stuff
 
i usually watch ept vids or any sort of poker vids on youtube helps me concentrate cause then im always thinking about poker
 
As little distractions as possible. Maybe some easy music, drink juice, smoke a cigarette, go to toilette during tournament breaks, make some snacks...
Mostly concentrate on game.
 
Usually listen to music, to me the most relaxing while playing... and smoke cigarettes.... I'm trying to quit smoking 🙂 sometimes the beer comes good 🙂

And it does not prevent you from playing? I think it is very hard to play when so many distractions.
 
During a poker game like listening to music. About turning on the TV, I can say that this is just a distraction from the game. And yet, if you play in a tournament, and there is a break, I read the news online.
 
Usually listen to music or watch youtube videos. Or maybe a poker show or something on poikerstars.tv
 
back when Pokerstars was around would play search and destroy on COD while 4-6 tabling. Those were the good ole days.
 
White noise works for me i seam to block out about everything else that is going on
 
I used to watch tv but after a long time of doing this I discovered it to be a distraction. Music works well for me, diff genre depending on mood. But weird as it might sound I think I like silence, the most
I have been known to play solitaire when playing a single table.
 
I found that for me it's not very good to listen to music or watch something while playing. I've tried to listen to relaxing music, but it was still distracting me, so I had to turn it really down. Concentration, silence and good decisions equals profit (at least for me).
 
If I'm playing freerolls, I'll have poker on twitch in the background and will browse the internet whilst I do it. When I play for money though I have nothing on as I don't want any distractions.
 
A break in the tournament


Until adjourned in poker tournament usually lasts about five minutes, I like crazy smoke a couple of cigarettes to relieve stress and fatigue: Vroam:
