If you're distracted by anything, then you have to be taking away from your game at least a little.

But, I browse all of the time. If you've ever played 6-max, you'd know the game moves at a "breakneck" pace. Sometimes, I'll find myself 3-tabling 5/10, talking on AIM to Lou, and browsing TP at the same time.

It definitely takes away from the game, but when you're grinding out 10k hands / month or more as a part-time rec player, then you have to make some concessions to help you stay sane I guess.
