I almost always watch YouTube while playing. I watch the videos that the platform offers me, and usually all of them are relevant to my interests.

I am catching myself to get bored when playing online poker. So I start reading the newspaper or watch some TV series online. Of course that does not make my play any better.

What do you do, when playing online poker?
It all depends on the mood. Sometimes I watch TV series, sometimes I watch news or documentaries, sometimes I can listen to music or watch some relaxing YouTube videos. There are days when I play slots while playing poker :)

I try to watch movies but on acr it is very difficult . I cannot mute sound on mobile App of acr and it disconnects all the time . I wonder if another person plays without those problems on acr mobile . On PC and laptop these problems are less frequent or absent , but on mobile it's a hell .

I usually listen to music. Sometimes I watch a video on YouTube related to poker hands.

The solution to overcome boredom during an online poker session is to play several tables at the same time... if you only have one table, the ideal is to pay attention without distractions, however I think it's worth playing some retro games like Top Gear 1 for Super Nintendo (SNES)... in fact any game that is for MEGA DRIVE / SNES works very well...

when I play, I sometimes talk on the phone or listen to music, but this worsens your game, so that it is not boring, you need to register a lot of tables and then there will be no time to be bored

I usually try to focus completely on the game without any distractions. Too boring right now though as I'm playing tournaments so I'm browsing the forums.

I watch movies on TV while playing poker, which helps me stay patient and wait for the best hands. Otherwise, I get bored and go all-in. It actually helps me win a few tournaments. Although these tournaments are only give $50 to $100 on first price, I don’t mind as long as I earn around $100 in a day.

Hi :)
Mostly I listen to music, radio news, or something that interests me. I almost always have YouTube on while I play. Nevertheless, I play quite concentrated and, say, music or news in the background does not distract me.

If playing a tournament free roll I can get bored easily. So to compensate I play another table of 7 cards stud h/l, or HORSE, or 8 game.

I agree, but the number of tables is gradually decreasing, and extraneous activities are still appearing.:)
