DAC Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 What do people use to aid their concentration when playing as I find it quite hard and end up playing like a muppet towards the end of a long session? I invariably use a "concentration stick" :dude but that invariably makes me tired and terribly hungry after a while. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas.

6ooner Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Re: Concentration Sticks I never ever thought I'd actually say this, and it does stick in my throat a little, but I never drink alcohol when I'm playing ......... I think I might be developing a temperence problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAC Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 Re: Concentration Sticks I've learned drinking excessively is a massive no-no. That said, you guys should play on Will Hills at around 11pm-1am. It is completely full with pi**ed up nutters and great fun, the STT's become much more easier than normal.

philossify Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Re: Concentration Sticks I'm another one who occasionally manages to cook and eat whilst playing .... have even occasionallly managed to cook whilst playing two MTTs at once :loon . Thank god for the sound prompting available on most sites. As to keeping my concentration up I occasionally overdose on Fishermans Friends and black coffee. I wonder if a hightened Oxygen environment would make for good poker playing - as I don't smoke it's an interesting possibility. Very rarely drink alcohol until theres less than an hour to go to the end of an MTT or occasionally if its a really fun low value game where the enjoyment comes before the money. :beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robilaruk Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Re: Concentration Sticks I multi-table to stop me getting bored! I usually fire up a $1 - $3 HU or short table STT to 'play on' whilst I keep an eye on the main game. Damo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
