blonde poker forum

Being a tall lad i suffer at times from back pain whilst sitting playing online poker, i have a proper office chair (leather) but after an hour or two the lower back starts to ache. I usally get up and do some bending and stretching to ease the pain, id guess a lot of people would suffer similiar pain. Thats one problem which puts me off playing MTT'S because they can last for quite a few hours at a times.
Would anyone have any advice on how i could ease the pain and is there something i could buy to place around the bottom of my back??

My usual routine now would be to play cash games for an hour/hour and a half then take a break and have a walk about.


More painful than a 2 outer hit on the river by a swimmer................ :D

When you get a bad back at a live game it is always nice to have a pretty little thing on hand who can give you a back rub/massage. At robs game I tried a new recruit for the position but she didnt have the stamina to handle my muscular frame and quit after about 5 minutes the light weight..... godfather themetune again in my head, end of post!!

well i just been to the physio this afternoon with shoulder pain and she rackons it could be the long time sat still at the PC seeing as i am a paraplegic i dont feel my lower back but its all the same thing

she told me to do certain stretches 2-3 times a day while sat in my chair and no reason i cant do them and play at same time

hopefully my pain will go away in 2-3 weeks

I have just moved into a new house and the best thing about it is the phone socket next to the bed - be lazy and play poker in bed yipppeeeeeeeee

I suffered the same problem.  :'(

I've had various different pains due to sitting for hours at the computer. I now have a reclining chair, feet on window sill, cushion behind lower back, pillow behind head, arm resting on desk. I'm told it's very important to sit correctly, dunno if I am or not but it's working so far.

I play 10 hours+ per day and theres no way I could sit in one place for that length of time, I play on a laptop and I do everything from sitting or lying down to standing up and walking about carrying the computer

I use different chairs and sometimes I even sit on the loo or in the car

The next time you are on the table with me red I am going to have the image in my head of you sitting having a dump now you swine, not a pretty thought. Just for the record I have my broadband straight in bed so I am usually reclined and naked (if that doesn't put you all off I don't know what will).

 :redcard:

Are you naked now?<g>

i aint but if you want heid it can be aranged

Concentrate on yer cards Mr Side :)

If I want you naked, I'll summon you!

Usually naked in bed and Im on my computer so what do you think?

Doesn't BARE thinking about!

I'll need to sleep with the light on tonight.

Garlic and crucifix too?

Come to think of it, I wonder if his bedsheets are blue and white??????

Flannelette?

Well his "jama's" certainly aren't!

I can imagine the miighty one himself would need to be snuggly and warm in his ickle beddy byes at the end of a long day :)

Snuggled up with his teddy and hot water bottle, sipping his glass of warm milk.

With a bit of creative editing I am sure it can .. wouldnt that be a bit too exciting for bedtime though?

After the stories I've heard, it'd be tame compared to his real life!!!  lmao

I've given up waiting for him to bite, I need to go to bed!

Night Heid - run too while you're safe  lol

xxxx

Night :)

I'm brave <g>
