Yes, but the live dealer has to constantly remind them that it is their turn to act in the live game because they are constantly looking down at their screen.
The poker bros dealer does not say much.
The other players get irritated by these "people."
Probably best to not do this.

The point of LIVE poker is to ENGAGE banter with the players. Otherwise please stay at home

I love both online poker, and live poker.

I play one or the other. Doing both at the same time is dumb. Terrible for the game too, and most likely you are just playing worse at both than you would if you focused on one.

atm, live is completely unfriendly/not social and even more boring than it gets. playing on apps while wearing a mask and sitting in a cube (in some areas) is completely fine.

i mean i might be convinced this is accurate ( i haven't played live live since early march so i don't know how anti social games are right now) but under normal conditions doing this is self centered, short sighted and horrible overall.

One time I saw a guy with his laptop set up to play poker on one of those side tables for food. I was surprised they let him do that.

Barely anyone drinks due to having to pull your mask down and I think people are generally trying to play better. I've actually seen more than one "fish" at the table playing on Bros on more than one occasion. (YMMV obv)

I do. I'll play on PokerBros™ with my poker bros (not trademarked) and I'm pretty good at doing both at the same time. Then again I play 1/2 while my friends also are terrible. I can easily make decent money doing both at the same time.

We don't let players use electronic devices at the table. We recently added storage lockers with charging ports, though.

i play a 10 handed private game and i like to play acr tournaments at the same time. In vegas ill play tournaments on my phone while playing tournaments

If you attempt this, you have to be fast. At the private game I give tournament strategy commentary on my hands in a lively way if people are interested.
