I see many players focused not on the action at the table but on interactive games on their tablet or phone. They do this constantly. While poker does get boring — especially when bad or inexperienced players take forever to act — having an engaging distraction that keeps your head out of the game can only hurt you.
Need something else to do? Have a static activity like a crossword puzzle or a book on your tablet or phone if you want that doesn't continue without you when you are attending to the poker game. Any other, ongoing game that will constantly draw you away from the poker game — because you can't resist the urge to continue with the other game's action — is anathema to solid play.
Yes, I know it's really an addiction, not just a habit. Even so, I include it here because it has much the same effect as a habit. Players who would otherwise be engaged in the hand are frequently distracted when at the tables by their need to smoke, and of course often driven to leave the poker game, poker room, and building that houses the poker game in order to satisfy that need.
While regular, intentional breaks from the action do make sense, doing so out of a compulsion or addiction to smoking doesn't. Get out of the habit of automatically and quickly getting into the first seat in the first game you see upon entering a poker room.
You want the best seat in the best game. And if there are no good games, you may want to pass on a session entirely. The difference between a seat in a good game and a seat in the first seat available could well be the difference between a winning and losing session.
If you're in the habit of taking the first seat you see without scoping out the games, you're depriving yourself of one of the best opportunities to engage in profitable play. Labels: bad poker players. Unknown 23 August. BlackRain79 23 August. Willian Mates 23 August.

That is where human nature comes in. We are designed to naturally hope, and often that leads to placing bets that are ill-advised. If you hope to win every round, you will quickly find yourself without money or in a lot of gambling debt. When you start playing poker, make sure that you have a gambling fund available. Rather save enough money to begin your poker playing and only then get started.
Absolutely never use personal and household funds to gamble with. Only ever gamble with funds that you can actually afford to lose. If you find that you are spending money that is intended for groceries, the utility bill, or account payments to fund your poker playing habit, you may need to seek out gambling addiction advice promptly.
