Default Never do this

I was playing poker and doing my best to play well. While I was playing I was doing other things on the internet and while I was doing that I was dealt a pair of jacks in middle position. I was reading something so I did not see the deal and I clicked a link. It just so happens at the same time I clicked the link my hand pops up and I hit the call button on the game. It folds all the way to the BB and the flop falls 10,10 3. I bet my jacks and clownie goes all in..I call and he had 10, 2 in the BB.
I will usually always raise with JJ no matter where I am and because I was surfing around and not paying attention I get it broke off inside me for being my own sodomizer.
Let this be a lesson to move that game box far away, or better yet when you playing online poker you need to remain focused on the matter at hand. This was a stupid move by me and it will not happen again.

I find this is good advice for when you are doing anything important on the computer. A lot of my work is computer based and I find my self wondering from that work since I am on the computer. I hope don't pick up this habit when playing Poker but I picked it up with work so I am more likely to do the same anyways.

I have been trying to slowly break this habit but it is a hard one to break.

That happens a lot to me, but I've learned that when I'm in a hand I concentrate on the hand. It's really hard to not do other things when you are playing online, I've tried different things but what works for me is usually reading a book on my computer.
