Are You Not Entertained?

For some players the beautiful game of No Limit Texas Hold ‘em is just not absorbing enough. A lot of them spend time between hands on their phones messaging friends and checking Facebook. Technology is wonderful these days. Jordi Martinez for her part is playing solitaire on her tablet, while two seats down Sam Cohen is occasionally thumbing through a well-worn copy of Jared Tendler’s “Mental Game of Poker” to ward off any encroaching tilt. Mikhail Shalamov, a PokerStars player from Russia, is watching old episodes of Friends whereas Stefan Vagner from Slovakia is closely following the PokerNews Live reporting updates on his tablet. Good man Stefan, we’re rooting for you.
