Attention training exercises

PokerioSchool.com
Managing your attention in poker is very important because you often have to process very large amounts of information and make the best decision for the situation in a very short space of time, so you need to be able to concentrate, keep an eye on the table and your opponents, and stay focused on the most important situations as the situation changes.

Attention it's the key to success!

  • Explain it like a coach. This method is suitable for everyone, and at the same time it is not only a good method for developing attention, but also a good learning method. You have to imagine that you are the coach and you are explaining to the students about the game, the hands, etc. (it is best to take notes).
  • Memory. A simple children's game "memory" with cards that require two of a kind to be turned over. The game is very simple, but very effective in training attention and memory.
  • Count the letters. Take an article and count the same letters, e.g. A, S, etc. This seems simple, but you should try to make as few mistakes as possible or complete the task as quickly as possible. The exercise is very conducive to attention control.
  • Take an illustrated book or a simple drawing and redraw it exactly. Then check how many mistakes you have made. Make the exercise more difficult with more and more complex opposites and start with very simple ones. To make the task more difficult, you can also speed up the pace of the task. The exercise must be done systematically.
  • Trying, as if against your will, to concentrate on listening, watching, reading, studying, etc., for 10-15 minutes with particular attention.The exercise is carried out in an area where the information or its presentation is completely uninteresting (but does not mean that it is not valuable).
  • In the evening, try to remember exactly what you did during the day, e.g. between 3 and 4 pm, focus your attention and try to write down what you did during that hour in as much detail as possible. This exercise gives very good results. I recommend repeating it at least several times a week.
  • Look very carefully at one small object, e.g. an electrical switch, a matchbox, a stain, a handle, etc. Do not look elsewhere and try to keep your mind on the object at all times. The exercise is very difficult, don't you believe it??? Start with 1-2 minutes and increase to 10 minutes, maximum 15 minutes. The exercise is very helpful in developing concentration.
