    Telephone is my biggest distraction. I hate the phone.

    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.
    If I'm very involved in poker, I don't pick up the phone.

    It's apparent by this poll that we have all our priorities in line. It's everyone else who is mixed up.

    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.

    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 tournament

    my biggest distraction is my only daughter and she's the only one who can make me stop playing when she wants to use the computer and if im in a game and she wants to use it she starts to count from 1 - 10 and it distracts me more so i just give her the PC.

    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 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
