As I've said many times before, I have trouble playing JUST one poker game at a time. I'm usually multi-tabling, plus reading the forum, plus surfing the web, plus email, plus playing a movie, etc.
Tonight was a perfect example.... I was half-paying attention to my tourney, but I didn't give it my full attention until after the second break. I even mentioned to the guys railing that I was about to focus. I turned on some music (XM Radio through my PC), finished up a few emails, and then started paying 100% attention to the game.
And I can tell you for a fact, I do indeed play better (mostly related to remembering how my opponents play) when I'm focusing than when I'm not. I need to try to remember that more in the future and cut back o nthe multi-tasking.
