Tournament Essentials: How To Kill Time And Not Do Stupid Things
![[user252447]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
What exactly is a player to do between hands? For instance, in the old days you would do as the expensive poker manual said you should do—pay rigorous attention to whatever it was others did at your table, and adjust your play accordingly, regardless of whether you could interpret their behaviour one way or another.
But these days, in an age of fractured attention spans and Ritalin, that’s a recipe for disaster. You’re more likely to get carried away, suddenly assume you know what you’re doing, and blow the lot. For that reason another solution must be found. Forget what the books say-- there’s no “you” in iPad--this is the tech generation, as the PokerStars Blog reports.

Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
