playing poker when the big game is on!

[aliando]

hope this is the right place to post this :D this may've been covered somewhere, but i'm interested as to peoples thoughts. just started a stt whilt i'm on the exercise bike and watching the match but is this a good time to play? on the whole do the occaisional players sit out when the big game is on leaving a better average of skill player or do more people do as i am, and not really concentrate. i ask re: the football, but no reason why it should be any different when its rugby internationals etc.... :ok

Re: playing poker when the big game is on! Personally I end up just having the match on as background noise as I concentrate more on the poker... I find it does help when you're having a bad run of cards though. :ok
