Drum Infected 0 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 No I'm not talking about so don't even put that in, I beat you out of it.Of coarse there is Music and we all have already touched town on that topic; so I wanted to see what the FCP community does while they play online poker. Lets face it, there is a time where you need something extra to do, especially during a MTT. So name something you do, as crazy as it may beI'll start it off in Order:1. Shuffling Chips2. Chinese Energy balls 3. Zero Fog Blaster I usually shuffle chips the most but when my wrist starts hurting, I'll go for the chinese energy balls to heal me up. The zero fog is just addictive and is a nice toy to fugg with when you have a minute of nothing to do..... it fills that moment up with fun! Weeeeeeee Link to post Share on other sites
Patricnz 0 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 i shuffle chips sometimes thanks for the avatar by the way its aewsome , P.S is that your hand in the picture? Link to post Share on other sites
troutsmart 0 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Physically, I don't think I do anything, but scream at the computer. Wait, I take that back. I tie flies for flyfishing quite frequently. Other than that, I study stocks. I would like to put a keyboard next to my computer in the near future and work on blues riffs. On the same note, I've been wanting to learn guitar, so I'll have to decide which. Maybe I'll alternate days between keyboard and guitar. Link to post Share on other sites

HoosierAlum 0 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Jayson,How can you play with the UB mini-view??? I find it unbearable. Link to post Share on other sites
JaysonWeber 0 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Jayson,How can you play with the UB mini-view??? I find it unbearable.I played strictly UB for 3 years.. I got used to it man, it really is pretty amazing, I wish more sites had the feature. Link to post Share on other sites
HoosierAlum 0 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Maybe the mini-view feature is better for limit games. I only play NL s & gs and MTTs on UB so I'm not sure. I save the limit games for the Party pond. I can't believe I've been a member of UB for like 3 years now also. Last week for the first time they sent me a CD of their new software in the mail ala AOL. This is the first time I have ever received anything like this from an online poker room.

Limit Player 0 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Pretty much just music for me. I'll check baseball scores, look at this forum, talk to my girl, but I'm not insanely quick on a PC so I need to minimize the distractions. Link to post Share on other sites
LewFather 0 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Mainly I listen to music or talk to friends.. Occasionally I'll do some shuffling... And I almost always have the TV on something like ESPN maybe even Cold Case or Forensic files.. LoL Link to post Share on other sites
KsItLoLnEeR 0 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 1. Take notes2. Watch the other tables average pot size and flop percentages so i can make sure i am playing the best tables.3. keep track of my stacks when i change tables to make sure i am keeping 100% accurate records.

elkang 0 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I have two 20" flat panels and have a lot of junk up. Also, some work related stuff on a 2nd PC which ties to the 2nd input on one monitor.Tivo and phone become the secondary things outside of what is on the screens.As an aside, I recommend Synergy to anyone who wants to control multiple computers with one keyboard/mouse - it even let's you cut and paste from one machine to another and it works across Mac/Unix/Windows.
