running on treadmill +playing

do you ppl think that while running on treadmill you can normally play poker ( laptop, 4 tables ) and it still doesn't hurt your game? i mean does it disturb your concentration?

and we talk about fit person, that won't spit out their lungs after 1h of running

has anyone tried it?

bad idea unless your playing much lower stakes then you normally play - should take alot away from your focus

but why you think it takes away my focus? i need some explanation, cause i don't see the difference, maybe i play 17/15 or less the cause i don't have time to raise all this shit i raise OTB normally, but still you think i'll play worse?

i can see someone trying to fist pump in the air and then eating it

congrats, you just won the "most random thread in the history of LP" prize

lololololol

try it and find out.

it would be toohard to press the buttons and stuff because everything would be shaking and a laptop touchpad is already bad enough for me, maybe WALKING on a treadmill would work .

i did many times, i see no bad sides, but i have an argument w/ a friend and we're trying to resolve this

doesn't milkman have a laptop attached to his treadmill?

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

It will make you much worse. There is no way if your running at any kind of a reasonable pace that you could properly play poker unless it was hands free, and even then as you become fatigued you will make mistakes. Without voice activated poker software you would also likely end up injuring yourself somehow by constantly reaching for your mouse when its your turn to act. Bad idea IMO.

no i didn't injuredd myself in any way, i can reach for mouse any time i need to make a decission, and as i said i'm in good shape, i run 9-10 km/h for 1h and i'm not exhausted after i'm done

lol @ rndm thread prize

Your a stud. well done, well done.

9-10 kmh? That's hardly running...
Still i wouldn't have thought of the great idea! Lol

I've jogged/walked and done it before. I set up this ridiculous contraption with an ironing board to keep the laptop stable and independent from the machine. Usually I just save training vids for my runs though.

i made a blog post about doing this maybe a year ago. i will be doing it again once i get back home in the next few days.. i only play 2 tables because when your running its hard to work the touch pad. but i dont lose any concentration, i mean putting one foot infront of the other doesnt take 2 much off my game.

Great thread, A+, would read again.
