Concentration

No. Why watch the chipleader? If you're going to watch someone, it should be the guys to your left and right - and then everyone else at your table. Worrying about how much the chipleader(s) have will just make you rush into playing hands when it's not needed.

yea but if you watch the chipleaders and other players if you get moved to their tables you will have info on how they play. I think you can watch both and still play fine.

I only play NL, so I find really concentrating gives me quite an edge. For that reason, I also never play more than 2 tables for that reason. However, I find myself getting off track and doing other things. Sometimes I do ok, but sometimes I know I dont make as much as I could. Also, I like focusing, it makes me improve my game and its poker at its best. I would say focusing in NL gives me 20% more profit per session, at least. If you get a read on someone, sometimes you can take him down much easier (one of those min buyin guys) and this is where the money is at. Fungus's 2 cents.
