You get distracted then you lose it's not good to do something while playing poker 🙂🙂🙂

By my personal opinion, to watch movie in during play in Poker is Bad idea... By one simple cause, because in Poker necessary a Big concentration,
if, of course, want to reach a Real Success! That's it! Therefore conclusion, I think, one: need to divide leisure and Poker!
But Everyone decides self, what fo Him is more important at this moment!

I recently discovered that PLAYING THE GUITAR while playing a tournament worked very very well for me.
I can keep my eyes and attention on the game while still getting some form of fidgeting or distraction; and it also help me to be more patient during the long stretches where I have to fold many shitty hands in a row

Everyone has a different way of focusing, some prefer to do something in silence, others find noise helpful. In my case, watching movies or doing something else distracts me. I need some peace and quiet to focus on the game.

I prefer to focus on my eyes in the game, at most a song in the headphones

I'm more of a music person if I'm stuck in a long game.. really don't find myself concentrating on or even remembering what happened in the movie if I watch while playing...

I particularly like to play poker, whether on any platform while watching a movie. Since it's generally a bit slow game, then a movie or series goes really well, so I don't even see the time going by.

Well, if you are not interested in the result of the game, then you can do it this way.

I also like to watch shows while playing poker. I dont tend to do it very often. If I am in a hand and feeling more serious at a particular moment then I just pause the show. I am a person that can multi-task quite easily though. I know that does not work for everyone though.

You could do that, but you are not going to be focus on your game, so, is up to you.

If you're at just one table, I think it's cool to watch something while playing.

 

[Broz]

I would never do that, because I wouldn't end up paying as much attention to either of them as I should.

 

[Toruk Makto]

I already did that! Sometimes it helps... 😉🙄

Due to German regulations, I am only allowed to play a maximum of 4 tables.
That's why I always watch a series or a movie on the side.

In the good old days of online poker, I always played 16 to 24 tables and therefore only concentrated on poker.

(Oops, that's not true. In reality, I had sex with my partner while watching movies and playing poker)

 

[Dasha_21]

I mostly play like this, but it's often a distraction

 

[Youvraj365]

never do that a very bad idea.
you will lose concentration on your game.

I generally prefer to watch a series in which I already recognize the characters by their voice and I don't have to see the screen to understand what's going on. But it does help me to lighten up long tournaments.

 

[Rory59]

Do this often….the program or the poker or both……always suffer

 

[valanddon]

Not a good ideal, you have to give your full atention to the game.

 

[lilypond]

I think that's far enough if you aren't playing for money. I wouldn't risk it if I was playing for money though I think it would be hard to focus on both at the same time.

It goes without saying that you need to be focused and attentive. Of course, it depends on the movie. If it's an interesting movie that you really wanted to see, you'll be constantly distracted by it. Sometimes I turn on an old TV series that I've already seen to keep the apartment not quiet. If you're a fan of adult videos and porn, it's unlikely that you'll be able to play poker and jerk off at the same time.

Sometimes I play poker when I'm watching NBA or MLB games. But I always try to bet on those matches, during the broadcast of which, there are no poker tournaments. But I think it's ideal to focus only on poker.

In most cases, I play 4-6 tables at the same time, so I don't have time to watch movies. But I almost always listen to music, I really like to play poker with classical music in the background.

 

[Shooter74]

I'd rather play poker while watching a football game...

 

[Diman111]

This is not very convenient. It's hard to focus on one thing.

 

[WellAA]

playing just one table can watch some movies, playing more tables at the time could be too much distraction and pausing the movie so much I guess.
