what is your BIGGEST distraction when playing online holdem
of course my WIFE fellow married guys know what its like if your not married you will find out lol
Telephone is my biggest distraction. I hate the phone.:D
I can't believe this question didn't bring more responses. I had to bring it back:D
My wife.
Also, I just had a baby boy about a month ago and the baby nurse left on Saturday night.
More work for Daddy!
I love my son and the vast majority of the time, I enjoy taking care of him. It's just that it would be nice if I didn't need to drop what I was doing while I have 6 tournaments going on!
Let it go to voicemail or answering machine.Quote:

Hey maybe we could swap, you don't mind the phone and my wife is head labor/delivery nurse at our area hospital..........LOL:D
My daughter always wanting this or that and won't let me be for 5 minutes, or people always coming over unannounced
It's the wife and phone and kids and bad play and etc.....
It's apparent by this poll that we have all our priorities in line. It's everyone else who is mixed up.:D
If the wife didn't yell at me or nag at me while playing poker I might have alot more money.
my biggest things are either listening to music on the computer, the t.v. or my husband. He wants to hang over my shoulder sometimes and tell me how to play.
It would have to be the TV for me beacuse i am a tv junkie, almost as much as i am a poker junkie
this time of the year FOOTBALL may rank high as well, at least for me.
that would be TV nothing like it on a 52 incher woohoo u can almost reach out and tackle them yourself ...ok thats a fantasyQuote:

Thing is i have MSN on while i play, but i think that helps me in alot of ways.
Biggest distraction for me is boredom!!! If im on playing 1 game, ill need to be watching TV or a movie or chatting to someone or id get uch too bored and make more mistakes
Yea and to go along with that another one of my distractions is other games. I get bored with one and so i then try to multi table with too many tables, which ends up distracting me from my primary tournamentQuote:

My freaking dog distracts me like hell, jumping up and down and playing with her ball and geezzzzzzz LOLOLOL
I think it is really important to watch what is going on at your table! You should treat every tournament you are in, regardless of the buy in, as you would play at at the WSOP.
lol hel no! $1 donkaments and satty rebuys are there to go all in with 5 6suited eveyr time!!!
hell, 3 2 off suit if youll get paid enough:)
lol Donkaments! You just cant play the same way at a 1 dollar buy in as you would in the WSOP, as other players dont respect the tournament as much.
When money loses it's value, as per say on the very low buy in games, people wont care, its just as if you were sitting with $100,000 chips and some guy pushes all in with 5,000 chips, you GOTTA call LOL
Low Buy-ins = The exact same thing as having LOADS of cash to spend
i agree 100% , to see what the trend is.Quote:
