When playing online, we basically need the computer, the software and the Internet connection. However, you might find yourself feeling the need for something more: food, music, your loved one, or maybe something else.

Some of you may have something without which a poker session simply cannot happen, which is why we want to ask you this week: how do you see your ideal poker atmosphere being? What do you need most to bring your A-game to the online tables?

Let the voting begin!

I usually have a sports game on


I like to have music while I play - mostly instrumental/classical or something with lyrics I can't understand (anime soundtracks are good for this) so that it doesn't interrupt my train of thought.

On a sunny beach with a dozen supermodels and a small team of scientists working out new ways for them to be nice to me.

other:

laptop on my left, 24" in front, laptop on my right

headset, skype & teamviewer for live coachings/discussions
if not skyping, listen to some coachings, videos, radio or klaaaaaaas tracks

chips to shuffle are fundamental

When playing with stats, I listen to music.
When playing without stats, I prefer silence :)


I need music, but most important of all is, I need preparation.

I do not have to get out of my bed and perform a set of 28 rituals before I can begin playing poker, but it definately improves my game if I now I'm gonna play poker in the afternoon, rather then if I come home at 6 PM, know that dinner's only at 7 and start up the poker client because I've got nothing else to do.


Music(britpop/indie rock) and a cup of coffee or some water. :)


I only need music and even music ins't a "must have" thing. I can't really get disturbed by poeple talking when I play mostly because I started to play poker in real life so I'm more or less adjusted to it. I need my loved ones only if I want some coffee or have a company if I'm playing like MTT and it's always more fun to win while ur friends cheer u up.


Music and a good old cup of tea

i definately need something to drink and the tv is always running as well. furthermore i surf from time to time on my second tft. when all tables loaded i don´t have much time to do anything though.
i never tried shuffling chips with my left hand while playing poker because i need it to punch against the wall when i got owned.


Voted for other because my pc isn't brand new and it can only keep up with 4 tables + PT HU running at one time, so to avoid boredom I either watch tv if there's something interesting on it or.. you won't believe it.. PLAY SOLITAIRE as a side game :-D

I rely on my fuzzy friends. They tell me what to play and when.
