Sometimes I’ll get bored playing one table nine-handed. Especially if people are taking really long to play. I usually just open up some more tables or watch something on Netflix while I’m playing! The worst is close to the bubble when people start waiting until the clock is at 1 second just to check or fold.. other times I’ll just try and figure out what hands people are playing when I’m not in the hand and see if I can figure out their play style.

I usually put on a Podcast (Joe Rogan Experience, Joey Ingram's podcast or other) and try to concentrate on 2 or 3 tables max...

I usually watch TV or a movie ,,,but not anything that requires too much concentration so can keep an eye on the game also. These days I only play one table at a time so it's not too hard to do other things usually... but I don't like to talk on the phone!,,,, that's one thing that it's not easy to do ,,,it usually always causes me to lose.....lol, this happens often during the cards chat freerolls also....haha

Obv trying to read my opponents hands even when I am not involved in the hand ;)
Watching TV/a movie is pretty counterproductive I feel.

Sometimes I have to play only on one table, for example, when I dropped out of 3 tournaments, the whole mood disappears, and I need to finish the last one. Then I turn on some movie and calmly play my tournament. If I play a lot of tables, then I am fully immersed in the game and do not get distracted by extraneous topics.

Personally, music helps me stay focused. And always music I like. Spotify is great but I found the recommended playlists distracted me too much. Porcupine Tree, Muse, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Dire Straits and Pink Floyd are on heavy rotation ;)

I’m guilty of being addicted to my ipad. I’m often on my iPad while playing. I’m usually just reading, watching twitch, playing games, or surfing the net or social media.

i usually play 4 tables and have a show running on the side. i play so much i wouldnt be able to play just poker and do nothing else. but im used to having a show running on the side and when im in a hand i dont even pay attention to the show, sometimes even going back 20 minutes on the show because i didnt watch it at all, but when theres no action i watch the show.
