I moved my poker setup and I noticed something.
In order to get away from the frenetic channel-surfing across European football highlight shows that goes on in my living room, I moved my monitor and chair into my bedroom over the weekend. Before, I would 6-table the 55's, AIM people, watch the highlights (despite not giving a care about soccer), listen to music, and occasionally talk on the phone. It didn't seem like too much of a brain-fry either.
Last night, I played my first two 6-table sets in my room: no music, no TV, no AIM (maybe a little), no rabbit-watching. It nearly blew my mind. All this information about poker was coming into my head from the screens that I hadn't ever seen before: reads on players, pots abandoned on my BB, exploitable HU opponents, etc. +5BI with a two massive suckout losses too. Maybe I just had a good couple of sets, but I thought I'd share. For those of you claiming distractions don't phase you, have you tried playing without them? |

You might want to use the "hundo" as a downpayment on professional psy-help [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

I think everyone knows distractions are bad for your poker. But it is good preventing suicidal tendencies.
When I 8-table most of my attention are on the tables, but I usually have TV on my third screen or music in winamp. |

And you thought I just turned off IM while I played because I am so old.
