Default Re: I have a Focusing Problem

Taking breaks helps me tremendously. I'm a little ADD at the table and multitabling online helps keep my mind constantly active but I've got to take some time out. Get a soda, have a snack or what ever. I force myself to take a five minute break every hour, whether I want to or not and it helps. When I play live, same thing. Get up walk around the casino for a few minutes, stretch my legs. I find when I get back I play more alert, refreshed, and better for longer stretches. I also don't deprive myself of meal breaks (good meals, not crappy snacks at the table) -if your blood sugar dips because you haven't eaten then you'll lose your mental sharpness.
And if all that doesn't help me play my A game - quit for that day.
