Watching tv shows while grinding.

I love Fresh Prince of Bel-Air they show reruns on TNT and other channels often.

They are good shows you have commented on and I myself like to either watch T.V. while playing tourneys or watch youtube, usually pokers shows.

I think watching TV or listening to music is a great tool to use while playing Poker, Especially when grinding long term (or big tournaments).

If you are just doing nothing but sitting in front of the efelt clicking Fold, Eventually you'll play cards that maybe you shouldn't play out of boredom.

Something to keep your brain occupied while folding.

Good point.

I like to watch old shows basically. Bewitched, I Love Lucy, Mary Tyler Moore, etc.

none of those shows they all suck. walking dead or dexter that's about it.

YouTube is also a good boredom killer. I like to watch Phil Hellmuth blowups while I play.

I think watching tv is fine while playing poker but things like surfing the web, reading forums are what distract you too much. You don't get to see whats going on until its your turn and missing the slightest info on how opponents play can hurt your chances.

Well, I recommend Dexter as a show, but I could never watch it while playing poker. I might have on some re-runs of sitcoms. I saw a few of the old school ones mentioned already, from I Love Lucy, I Dream of Jeanie, Fresh Prince, Everybody Loves Raymond. I can play with shows like that on.

When grinding online I like to watch law and order you don't have to watch it to understand whats going on.

I agree when playing in a tourney you must watch the pattern of the players to avoid or take advantage of
