Do you play multi-task when playing poker?

[Luccasdsp]

I can not play multiple tables simultaneously, lose focus, then choose one tournament and focus on it as much as possible.

if I play more than 4 tables then I only have music on the background, and if it's 1-3 tables, then you can turn on the movie or run parallel to some kind of game, for example, Hartstone, it has a time reserve for the move and so you can play in and follow the poker situation

 

[iriska]

I watch all sorts of serials))) Sometimes listening to music

 

[clasrasmusso]

I often watch TV when I play, but I play best when I'm just concentrating on the game,​

 

[deeggr]

I just mainly play poker - usually have so many tables going I can't do anything else. .

 

[QA77]

I like playing for fun so I multi task all the time. Unless Im playing a lot of tables, which Im not, I like to stay busy and watch tv while playing. The game isn’t fast enough to not do that.

But I do know that I risk money at the table because without 100% focus, you won’t be playing at your best.

 

[vov4ik]

When for me the game runs poorly on small bets, I watch a movie or series, but when the game raises a big bet I put all the pauses and I need to make a good decision in the game, but most of the time I focus on the whole poker game!

All attention to the opponents at the table if responsible game. Can look in parallel the film in the background.

 

[gabpoker]

I just focus on the game when I am playing and only have music on. I am taking notes on plays and watching the action when not in a hand.

 

[neptun1914]

I usually play music and in early stages of MTT i also browse in internet.

 

[JOKE on YOU]

I'm on the phone ,watch tv talk on the phone cook sometimes

 

[JOKE on YOU]

I get bored easily my brain always active, maybe if I put 100% of attention to the game I will do better ,I should try studying more

 

[vpashuta]

For sure - I play while I'm working - or watching TV or doing just about anything else. I rarely sit and only play poker.

 

[Stonerkitten]

Watching stuff is way too distracting for me, just music not too loud. And maybe make a sandwich or some thing easy, but turn the volume up on my tablet so I don't miss anything.

 

[3betfish]

I study for classes or work on office stuff. Often times, poker will slow down my productivity, rather than my other tasks affecting my performance in the game.

 

[don1980]

I watch videos on youtube and tv while playing poker.

 

[elizeuof]

I like to play on my smartphone, in this way I can watch TV, walk around the house, eat some thing, talk with my girlfriend, I usually get more concentrated when I am in the late stage of tournament, in the beginning of tournaments freeroll I don't play almost all the hands, some games I prefer wait the game turn into a little more competitive, when some weak player's had lost.

 

[SaintNick1968]

Depends how many tables I'm playing. Usually not but if I'm bored or down to a couple of tables then I do.

 

[Frankie40]

I feel I need other things to look at, watch or read when playig online. When I play live games, I dont do any type of multi tasking, I like to watch the players as they bet, fold etc. Online on the other hand, I need some type of stimulus or I might get bored and play a hand i normally would not.

 

[sryulaw]

I prefer to just stay in poker, focus on the game, see other things draws too much attention

I like Archer in the background, it breaks up the monotony and gives you a giggle.
