Do you watch poker tournaments on the internet? Or do you prefer to just play?

Yes I love watching poker events on the internet or on TV which is very helpful and interesting.

I like to watch them on TV, but they are normally not in full length here in germany.
They are scripted for entertainment, so early phase and middle phase parts are missing, mostly these are FT vids on TV.
Better coverage on the internet but also not all to see there, its not possible to cover let's say all tables from the wsop
main event.
So you will see there mostly interesting spots from interesting players.

Do you watch poker tournaments on the internet?

Yes, I have watched both live internet tournaments and online tournaments… (Online tournaments are more interesting to me... as I play online poker myself)

Or do you prefer to just play?

I'd rather watch tournaments than play them...

Of course I watch as soon as I have time to do so. You can learn a lot by watching others

 

[COMIRRR]

I don't follow the games of other players, sometimes only the pros, my game is not the same as what I follow because the opponents are also different, I make my game depending on who is with me at the table.

 

[NightStalker]

I prefer to play and to watch some highlights content.

I used to watch the high stakes cash games tables on FT many years ago, but just because I thought it was fun. Nowadays, when I have time I prefer to study poker than watch tournaments.

 

[ninocabral]

I watch with a lot of frenquency and I think that just being watching is a way of study so I joined the useful to the pleasant

 

[pentazepam]

I prefer to watch Cash Games. To many coin-flips in late-stage MTTs.

I rarely watch, I hardly have much time, but playing is my thing

 

[Gallarado777]

When I play tournaments and I'm really bored, I just open newt tournaments and watch their games how they play, and time just goes by so quietly that I finish almost all the tournaments while watching these tournaments, it's cool to combine one with the other and you'll benefit while your opponents think

 

[vitas_top]

I love watching live poker tournaments and I think they help make my poker game stronger.

Everything that is studying poker is essential for learning.
I watch live streams, online or live tournament sessions.
I see cash streaming sessions from NL2 to NL400.
I see a lot of interviews with different players who have made significant achievements.
I see courses on different techniques applied to the game.
I have to spend at least 2 hours watching each day, and then play another 3 or 4 hours.
Greetings

I prefer to play, and haven't watched a televised tournament in probably a dozen years or longer. As much as I love playing, I think that watching is really boring unless there is someone I really know well and like playing, and then will maybe watch a few hands.

 

[Risto234]

Watching tournaments i'm playing is enough

 

[nakiesQUensyyy]

I just play because I can't watch poker, it's not my level of play and I don't understand many things

 

[akmost]

Yes , sometimes I play and I watch Twitch!!!

 

[kaynbergo]

I spend at least an hour a day watching tournaments both online and offline, which helps me grow as a player.

 

[gravii2011]

I'm just playing. I'm not watching.

 

[SandSeven]

I watch and/or read as much poker as I play. It's quite nice to stumble upon a streamer that shows you the hands you need to add and/drop depending on the circumstances. I think most of the content posted could be fit into teaching as the focus with the benefit them being entertaining vs watching say the WSOP day 1-6ish which is all about the entertainment with a side of learning.

 

[GeckoAA]

Just like sports I’d rather be involved and not just sit there watching. My husband watches lots of poker and sometimes he will call me over to watch something. Im just not a watcher, Im a doer.

 

[LUKADONCICMVP]

i just play, used to watch years ago tho

 

[R.Melnyk77]

Depends on the mood. Sometimes I watch live streaming and play by myself, sometimes I play and just listen to music, and sometimes I can cook myself dinner and just turn on a TV series
