I prefer to listen to music, it gives me more energy and my concentration is sharp, if I watch something while I play I lose focus because I pay more attention to the video or TV than to the game and I end up losing hands that go help me achieve my tournament goals!

This is something I also do sometimes.
Indeed, I find it inspiring. Kinda makes you want to play like the pros.

I dont watch poker when playing. I would prefer to concentrate on the game at hand. One thing that can cost you in this game is just being distracted.

Sometimes I watch streams on twitch, it depends on how many tables I play.

I watch various bloggers while I play poker. I also try to have some music going also. Keep me focused majority of the time.

IDK, i think he is too aggressive and most times that gets him into trouble or he just tries to bully, and it backfires. For me, Hes not a model poker player that i think he could be. Watching him play turns me into a gambler :p

I like the idea of watching a poker tournament and playing at the same time. Because you can draw inspiration from watching the decisions of professionals. But only if you play at one table, not several.

I have a really hard time concentrating, and it's not just playing poker, any activity I do happens to this. I like to do several things at the same time, most of the time I play I'm doing something. And that hurts my game a lot. I watch videos, read articles, post on the forum, read magazines, talk on the phone... I do everything!

Sometimes I do watch poker while playing. But only If I only play 1 or 2 tables at the same time. It's Importamt to keep track of the action on the table. You still want to be able to observe your opponents cautiosly.

I don't like it and my laptop doesn't allow me to do both either hehe, I prefer to listen to music, I don't think that playing a tournament and watching videos of people playing brings me something positive, I think it brings more to the distraction, but I think that each person has his way of relaxing or his methods of focusing

I love to watch poker on tv while I play online even though I sometimes get involved in a big hand on tv and miss a big hand in the game I'm playing online.:D:D

I don't watch wsop, but I often watch poker streams. education The question of which poker books you recommend has absolutely ceased to be relevant thanks to streams. Professional players openly share their experience on streams. You don't even need to understand calculators and other programs to understand how it works.

When I get nervous I would do other activities, sometimes also watch poker streaming, I think it is a bad habit anyway.

I try not to watch anything while playing.

Sometime though I will put poker on towards the end of a session and I'm down to one or two tables and my mind starts to wander.

I don’t watch third-party tournaments, usually the entire screen is loaded with tables, I’m as distracted as possible by chat in twitch:angel:
