Focus is a Must

The most common question you will most probably hear from a pro or get from a poker book is something that relates to focus being a must when you are playing and being a key part of winning which is at times hard to achieve.

Focus is totally a must but most poker players failed to have it in their game. What they don’t realize is that because of some distractions like sporting events on TV, the appearance of attractive drink servers, phone calls or the like, they often failed to earn big bucks. Also, they don’t realize the things, opportunities, etc. they are missing because of playing poker without focus or full concentration.

Now, what can you advise to pokers who don’t realize the importance of focus in every poker game?

Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks in advance!

Nico,

I would remind them of the potential information that they miss when they are not focused. I would also recommend that they develop exercises to help them stay more focused while they are playing.

Now if they are online players that lose focus due to playing just one game, I would even recommend playing more than one game. Sometimes playing one game is tedious and boring. I usually play at least 2 games to keep myself focused on the game.

I know some people can focus on 10 or more games at once, but I also play a lot of mixed games online. That requires a little more focus due to more cards out in a lot of spots.
