Do you fully focus on the table while playing?

[iwont20]

It will sound weird, but I play bad when I focus on that table 🤣🤣🤣 I'm doing better when my attention is split between a few very active tables and I have to do something else in addition. I guess, I like to overthink and have a patience problem 😔

I can watch a movie in the early stages of a tournament. Also I watch daily videos on the mobile.

 

[ednaroza]

No, I don't focus completely on the table, but I don't watch TV or anything, just play another table or watch the forum
I've noticed that I tend to 'overplay' some hands - i.e. play hands that I wouldn't play if I wasn't focused on just one table - maybe because of boredom, idk.

You hear music while playing? What type of songs?
You watch TV? Movies? Tv show? Program?
Play other game?
Other stuff? What?

I watch some tv shows while playing

I enjoy playing a little candy crush while I'm playing tournies. Maybe I should concentrate more on the tournaments.

 

[OstroLB]

Yes, when I'm playing poker, I'm totally focused on the game because otherwise you lose focus on the game and end up losing, and it's hard to recover

 

[ElScorcho008]

I always have background noise, either a tv show (something I've already seen before) or music. But I do try to focus on the table as much as I can

I prefer to just focus, it happened some times that I lost hands (and games) just because I was playing a hand and suddenly my wife ask me something, those 5 seconds of distraction made me commit terrible mistakes, always try to play on private and quite places buddies.

I watch some tv shows while playing

I think that everything except pleasant music makes it difficult to concentrate on the game.

 

[f_lampa]

I can't watch or listen to anything, I just play poker

 

[fernandovr]

Unfortunately no this is a problem that I have that I need to improve.

 

[bullkk]

What games and how many tables I'm playing.

 

[serj537]

Playing poker in silence is not my thing. At least I turn on the TV.

 

[ramorleans]

It depends, I get bored so easily so I play some hyper game for sideline while on MTT. It's hard for someone who has an ADHD to focus on one game.

 

[A kiravio]

I concentrate so hard sometimes that I want to fold and I click on something else 😃which sometimes annoys me and I want to finish quickly especially because I fail when I'm on the first 1'2'3 places and I end up in line 😀

 

[dompoker]

I like to listen to music while I play, I like ranch music.

 

[nameless]

It depends of the mood the quality of the tournaments various factora sometimes i chill in bed and put music or sometimes i watch a documental in the background to listen or watch a little, sometimes fully focus smoking like a maniac

 

[Dimidrol2]

Often not when I play a lot of tables at the same time, but when I go far enough along the tournament grid, I play more focused.

 

[dimon4ik89]

I sometimes watch series or movies while playing poker or listen to music. If the game is responsible, for example, I play at the final table, then I completely focus on the game, and give all my energy to poker. I'm sure the more attentively I play, the better the result, if I get distracted by something else during the game, then the result will be worse. When I play poker professionally, then I give all my energy to the game, and if I just have fun, then I can do something else while playing)

Lately it's been difficult to not watch the wsop EVents while also playing. On the one hand, the WSOP streams really help to motivate me to play but on the other hand, they are distracting and probably not helping me to win, lol.

 

[RENEY444]

Focus ? I dont concentrate , thats one of my problems !If good hands arent coming i find something else to hold my attention .And of course thats not a positive thing in poker .

 

[successlaw]

I used to play 100% focus on tables but sometimes I'm distracted

 

[tony2521]

of course yes, you should not miss details to know what kind of players they are

 

[Skot_Gy]

I usually play in 3-4 freeroll tournaments in the same time, so no time for other things...
Silence and focus

 

[Fepitaph]

I prefer to be relaxed, but keep an eye on the flow of the hands, the style of the players, the size, etc. focus is bad for my game and makes me make decisions that I am not predisposed to, besides it adds fear, maybe it is only at the initial stage of the game

 

[louuu19]

I like watching youtube, series and listening to music while playing
