Concentration and attention

[Brigistul]

Experienced players may lose their concentration,as a poker session progresses.Concentration is the ability to direct your attention to a specific task or thought, such as the decision to call, raise or fold.Attention, on the other hand, is the ability to maintain that focus for an extended period without being distracted.During long sessions, the brain experiences difficulty maintaining focus, which leads to less good errors and decisions.Dr. Tricia Cardner, she is the author of Positive Poker, Peak Poker Performance, and co-author of Purposeful Practice for Poker.

I have never played more than 3 hours of poker online…I’m OK usually, but I have started to nod off on occasion when I haven’t slept well…it has never been a problem playing live poker…Day 1 of the 2019 wsop Colossus was 15 hours of gruelling stressful play…trust me, no chance of losing focus.

N-am jucat niciodată mai mult de 3 ore de poker online... De obicei sunt bine, dar am început să ațipesc ocazional când nu am dormit bine... nu a fost niciodată o problemă să joc poker live... Prima zi a turneului WSOP Colossus din 2019 a fost de 15 ore de joc extenuant și stresant...

Sometimes there are tournaments that last more than 8 hours, and it's good to somehow relax! In her books you can find out how to achieve this, what to do, how to think, etc.

This is why my favorite tournament is a Single Table SnG.

Cardschat Team League number of players is about right also. Larger numbers of players in a tournament certainly requires greater focus and concentration.

Concentration is definitely a very important factor. Players who are concentrated on the game have a better chance of a good result. Provided, of course, that they don't play all their hands in a row, like some people
