Distractions

1.  Cell phones, phones in general, people that buzz you, that can be a big problem when you are playing online.
TURN THE GOD DAMN CELL PHONES...Telling people your chip counts and getting all excited about how far you are in tournament or how much you won at a cash table can very well mean your getting too greedy and boasting too much which will lead to your downfall....THE POKER GODS ARE WATCHING....SO TURN THE PHONES OFF

2.  Girls, are probably one the biggest distractions in online play...

I'll tell you a story about how girls can be a distraction.  I fell in love with a girl named Cassie and my dad's friend staked me 150 dollars at fulltiltpoker.com.  I was over at my girls place playing while i was drinking wine, having sex, and constantly being dragged in the other room for love time.  On top of that her internet connection was bad so i was losing half the tournaments i was playing.

Going off topic a little here...never play slots...my girl and her mom play slots all the time at the casino...and i started to play and i got addicted

See when you start going outside the box of poker you start viewing as a gamble and not as a skill.  So I started with my money rather than play the game.
