No one thinks it's a problem that general consensus is forming that the best thing to do while taking a break from staring at your screen playing poker all day is to stare at your screen watching tv all day?

[/ QUOTE ]

meh, im too add, so id rather play video games than watch tv alot of the time. unless its really late, then ill just pop in something pretty in HD to watch.

but yeah, going outside and reading a book>>>> video games after a session.

[/ QUOTE ]

normally after a long session my brain is too stimulated to just slow down enough to read a book. i end upjust mindlessly reading the words and not absorbing anything so after a session i just drink some scotch and zone out in front of the t.v. for a half hour or so then either go to sleep or go to the gym/go to a coffee shop and read. but reading immediately is just not doable.

[/ QUOTE ]

yeah same here. end session, light up, relax, then read after if its nice out.

I guess when your sessions are only half an hour long like mine this doesn't happen to you

strongly agree. which reminds me of something i was discussing with a friend recently. what percentage of HSNL drinks/smokes immediately after finishing a session most of the time?
edit: watching tv should probably reside in the shut-your-brain-off-with-drugs category too

if I have a big loss I can't concentrate on anything and usually watch tv. if I could buy alcohol or didn't live in a dorm I would probably drink or smoke weed

I don't smoke cigs regularly but the few times I have before a sesh I play much better, same with blunts
