The environment can influence the performance of online poker players during tournaments or cash games. Therefore, below we revisit the tips from GGPoker, the most popular platform for playing online. These tips are a foundation for achieving a better space when grinding.
Have you ever noticed that your results are different when you play in one environment compared to another? Do you think playing from bed can give you the same as playing in a comfortable chair with total concentration? It is very possible that after 10,000 hands, the difference will be evident.
3 key elements to improve the “poker office”
According to GGPoker, many players open tables and start grinding without thinking about their workspace. However, the quality of decisions can be connected to your environment. These would be some key elements to improve the gaming space…
Good-sized monitor for playing online poker
Screen size matters more than it seems. Playing on 13 inches limits your ability to read bet sizes and follow the action, especially if you have several tables active at the same time.
GGPoker recommends a minimum size of 24 inches at 1080p resolution, enough for 2 to 4 tables without overlapping. This size can increase if the player’s requirements are greater.

Mouse and keyboard to avoid “accidental” actions
A precise mouse avoids misclicks or costly errors. Investing in a reliable model with effective response is key. The keyboard has less influence, but it doesn’t hurt to ensure comfortable keys and wrist rests to reduce fatigue during long sessions.
Chair and desk
You will spend hours there. So look for lumbar support, adjustable height, armrests, and breathable material.
Every distraction costs money in online poker
Although they are very common, it is recommended to avoid these distractions:
- Digital: Close unnecessary tabs, disable notifications, use a browser profile exclusive to poker, and site blockers if necessary.
- Physical: Phone out of sight or in Do Not Disturb mode. TV off. Let people at home know when you are grinding.
- Music? If you use it, let it be something that helps you focus.
Pre-session routine
Finally, these are some recommended habits so that the activity at the tables is stress-free.
- Tidy your desk, close unnecessary programs, review your goals, and evaluate your mental state.
- Define a time limit before starting.
- Have water at hand, healthy snacks available, appropriate temperature, and good lighting without glare.
- Get up and stretch every hour.
Small changes generate big differences. And with these tips from GGPoker, you can improve your space step by step, little by little.
