Live poker rooms provide a social atmosphere that some players enjoy but for others it can be a disadvantage. The noise, chatter and distractions of a full card room make it hard to stay focused on the game. Players can get drawn into conversations that take their attention away from the hands being played. The body language and emotional reactions of opponents sitting right in front of you may provide unintended clues. For players who do better in more isolated practice settings, the electric energy of a jam-packed poker room can hurt their game more than help it.
