Ideal Online Poker environment

[shdw01]

I know too many distractions can lead to inefficient play.

1) How many tables?
2) What other things do you do? (radio, tv, websurf, porn, IM, etc.)
3) Foods that you snack on?


1) Personally, 2-4 tables is what I prefer.....too hard to do other things with more

2) either TV + web browsing OR movie on monitor #2. Both are probably distracting but if not I will play ugly hands.....IM on but I don't use it much.

3) Hell I eat enough where I might overtake hognuts as the forum fatass. I always have a beverage (usually water) and i'm 50/50 on snack foods....popcorn works pretty good.

6-10

i surf, i IM, and I watch tv

not much since my house is usually empty

I usually just play 1 table at a time, but will go up to 4 at a time during tournaments.


I dont IM at all, but I do have 3 TV's in my den, so I am usually watching my bets while playing

1-2 tables. Search the web, watch some T.V. I feel if I don't do other things I want to play too many hands. If I'm distracted I'll easily fold the marginal hands.

I do between 8 and 11, nothing else, the Tvs are on but not watching, if someone IMs me, I'll take a few minutes to respond one word, If I do coffee by the time I remember I was having some, it's cold..... Dont even wager on games anymore, this H2H contest is taking a lot of time for me too, lol

Couple of weeks ago im killing a Razz table, up prolly 100 bucks in 30 mins. So i figure if i could run 3 tables at once ill be a zillionaire by oooooooo 6 pm or so. So i fire up 2 more tables and sure enough. In 30 mins im 150 in the hole!! I am without a doubt the WORST multi table player in the world..Just cannot do it, im to old i guess...lol

I realized that when I cut my tables from 4 to 2 I was playing way better and making much better moves

2-4 tables is fine. More than that, excessive. Usually avoid any kind of chat, internal poker-MSN or IM, thats just stupid, many times they've folded 4 me VN hands while chatting. Music works better than TV, snacks and cigarrettes are good. Keep it easy on booze/drugs, for some it may work better, because they make cold choices, others will just act stupid. Usually drink whiskey or beer, for relaxing, and if im partying, a LITTLE blow is not that bad.
