Me personally... I download and watch movies on the computer. I find watching movies keeps my mind occupied. Otherwise, I end up getting bored and play hands I shouldn't.

Normally just put on some tunes and play away. Outher times I will look up the people im playing, make notes etc. Sometimes brouse the net and end up boring people here. Ill vot music.
Just listen to music since this is how i stay most sharp and pay attention to action and make solid reads! I do tend to watch movies and youtube.. and bleed money when im bored lol

I've probably done all the items on your list at some point or another while playing. Lately I find in SnG games if I focus on 1 or 2 tables, learn something about how an individual plays instead of surfing the web, etc. I play better. Probably more info then requested, but that's the technique I tryto stick to. Freerolls I'm probably a little less focused due to excessive folds due to donk playing. Good Luck at the tables!

I play sit n go's so I mostly pay attention to whats going on. My bank roll isn't overly big so I'm trying to play as good as possible, and I don't have rake back so there's less incentive to multi table.
I think it's what you do when you lose that's most important.

Lol, he does what dozn likes? Nice thread, d44ve. Me i put on the tv or a movie but never watch much. I'm always multi tabling(4-8 tables) and try to pick up every info from the tables i can get, so can't follow a movie or program completely. Sometimes music too and inbetween food and drinks(no alcohol while playing!)

If I'm on my PC - then music - generally on my PC I play 6+ tables and if I try and use msn - or web browser - on other monitor then I start to lose focus.
If I'm on my laptop - then I generally only play 1-2 tables and I'll watch the X-Files and lay back on couch. Or other shows - yesterday it was trailer park boys
