[Closed] What do you do while playing poker?

I don't think watching TV is a good idea,you can have peak or so,but you won't be concentrated on poker.

I listen to music,since it's helps me to concentrate(usually i'm not alone in the room)

I'm playing only 2 or 3 tables at a time, so I can browse, watch TV or analyze my hands in Elephant.

I do same with 18 tables, but I usually listen to music.

Most of the time I listen to music.
And sometimes I play with my iron balls. (I think they are called qigong balls or something like that... dunno ^^)

I play with 2 egg shaped magnets (forget the name), but they are very relaxing.

I also have the TV on, with some sort of stand up comedy. I never look at the tv while playing though. If I found I was peeking at the TV I would switch it off for sure.

I tend to play with my balls too

I knew somebody would say something like that ♦

4 tables on one screen and 4 porno movies on second is optimal for FLHE.

I do chiptricks & I practice new ones and im also listening to Deep.fm .
Also if someone PMs me on Skype, I will chat with him but pokering gets priority.

music.. most of the time ~_ ~ sometimes if i play 9-8 tables only i watch anime ^^ (well since im on low limit.. there's no need to do "alot of concentration" or think about certain situations )

Playing on two tables, listening music and chatting MSN
Sometimes my mum asks me to get the trash out, so I run like there's no day after tomorrow.

i play with a stack of chips next to me or open up more tables

Just browse a bit, watch the news, chat a little etc

focus on tables + music

I just focus on playing poker, doing anything else is bad for your game, even listening to music I think.

Just listen to music or watch a movie. Btw , after reading these forums im starting to fell like i'm the only one who plays only at one table at a time

Don't knock only playing one table ♦ Thats where we all started at one point (or atleast should have started). You'll soon get up to speed with a little experiance.

GL to you!

I usely have the TV on but i dont watch i just listen, or listen to music.

If i am playing more than a couple of tables i usually just end up zoning out the tv and music tho.

I find that if i dont have some sort of arbitrary distraction i get to board waiting for my good hands and start making stupid calls just to amuse me, and since all i have is a 15" laptop i can really only multitable 8 table effectively.

I look at the table, that's why I play only one SNG at a time It's the best way to improve my reading ability and post-flop skills
