Shut the TV and close your web browser. If you were a winning player I'd suggest opening more tables to keep you from getting bored by folding a lot of hands pre-flop.

. Music is fine.

Seriously though OP...If u get bored / unfocused easily while playing then maybe poker is not for you as it requires a tremendous amount of focus.

I browse the net / read here / watch poker vids (read: watch porn) in the early stages of a MTT sometimes...but that's about it. If I'm playing cash then it's just me, music and the tables I have open. I'm not sure what advice you are looking for.

If you take the game seriously and are in it to 'win it' then you should not be having these focus problems.

Try..Um...Focusing harder? lol

You couldn't even hold focus long enough to type your smiley face the right direction.

If you find yourself losing focus, just quit playing. Try to stay focused for longer every session and it will gradually get easier.
