How focused are you when you play?
We've done this thread before, but since SO MANY more tournaments have popped up in the last 6 months i'm curious how you guys operate now.
How many tables do you play at the start/middle/end of your day? How many monitors do you use. How much attention do you pay to each individual table? Do you normally have a pretty good feel for each individual players style, or only when you get down to less tables? Do you use PT/PAHUD? How conscious are you of your image? How much does it affect your play? How many things are you doing outside poker while your playing? Things like browsing the net, talking on phone, AIM, watching TV/movie, eating, whatever else. How's your focus overall, anything else you want to elaborate on? Feel free to branch out from these questions. Cool, thanks

Re: How focused are you when you play?
tournaments are easy, less focus is fine until about the third hour of most of them, later for some, earler for few others. in general, you dont' have to do much just read other stuff online and watch tv until the final three tables or something.
it's all about opporuntity cost, if i completely focused i might do 2% better, but the moargin isn't high enough for me to be doing other things bc they're so easy.

Re: How focused are you when you play?
i max out @ 8 usually
i use PT/HUD on stars tables, but im usually too retarded to get ftp working 2 monitors (1600X1200 and 1680X1050) 4 tables each I usually have AIM open and 2+2 minimized No tv/music. I do listen to music when playing cash though, but not donkaments Overall focus is usually solid when lots of tables, but meh with 1-3 tables

Re: How focused are you when you play?
How high am I?
I generally will start anything $10+ that runs while I'm playing with no actual max but it's very rarely >10 just because not that many tournaments start. I do tons of other [censored], read 2+2, other internet sites, talk on AIM, watch TV, listen to music, smoke weed, etc. I don't use PT/HUD at all because I'm lazy. I have 4 monitors on my desk but I really only use 2 of them for poker and the others for other things. I'm not usually paying enough attention to get reads until the last few tables because I don't think it's really that necessary until deep.

Re: How focused are you when you play?
ill play as many tables as i can... one 17inch laptop, and music/tv whatever. Prolly should figure out a way to focus more, b/c i feel like im not focused and my play deteriorates. i think i might cut down on the tourneys i play and sign off aim when playing....

Do you normally have a pretty good feel for each individual players style, or only when you get down to less tables? like nothing until later tables, unless I have notes from previous play with certain players. Do you use PT/PAHUD? no, should I? How conscious are you of your image? How much does it affect your play? I prob need to work on this, being more aware of my image I mean. Id say it has a very very small affect on my play. How many things are you doing outside poker while your playing? Things like browsing the net, talking on phone, AIM, watching TV/movie, eating, whatever else. AIM, 2p2 (when im not banned), eating sometimes How's your focus overall, anything else you want to elaborate on? Feel free to branch out from these questions. Im chatting and on 2p2 quite a bit I guess. But I make tons of notes so I feel like its pretty steady, maybe like an 8/10 Cool, thanks [/ QUOTE ]
