I think that music and poker match, now it depends on everyone how they can concentrate better, with music or without music, I personally prefer the music of the 70s-90s.

Music accompanies me most of the day, but during a poker session it must be absolutely quiet, only then can I achieve maximum concentration and win.

Sometimes I listen to music , sometimes I do different things while playing, like watching Netflix or YouTube . Sometimes music relaxes me , but other times it might not help . It all depends on the mood and circumstances.

While playing, I always listen to upbeat music, often rock - it doesn’t interfere or distract, despite the presence of words and the desire to sing along :D

Good music matches with almost everything.

I prefer music that is soothing and relaxing.

I don’t usually listen to any music while playing poker. Poker is entertainment enough. If I do choose to listen to music I prefer no vocals or vocals that I don’t understand so that it is just relaxing background noise.

I love listening to music while playing poker. Music helps me stay calm and focused. I listen to music in different ways, according to my mood.

It depends on the situation, most of the time I like to listen to mainly instrumental music, but sometimes I prefer without music

There are times I listen and other times I don't! But if I listen, I like to listen to POP music

Of course, music is very important to be able to play poker in a more relaxed way, that's why I always listen to a lot of music when I have long sessions.

Poker and music are two compatible things, music helps to relax, calmly react to the reaction of opponents and to the hands, as well as movies, I often won a lot of money in poker when I watched a movie, it's strange but it's so.

It's very rare for me to play without listening to something. Right now I'm playing and listening to Audioslave.

Many players put on background music. I think that if the music is played muffled, it will not interfere, but what kind of music to put here is a matter of taste, you can put on just a melody without words, you can put on rock or classical music. I don't think music is in the way.

I subscribe to quite a few instrumental music channels on YouTube. Of course, everything depends on the mood, but you can always find something that will help your concentration.

I can say... everything what supports your effective state of mind is helpful.

Music, podcasts, videos, movies, audiobooks. Up to you.
Efficiency is a virtue.

I prefer not to, since it can distract me and make me take bad decisions, but it depends on the person.

For me, it depends if it is online or live. I much prefer to see and hear everything when playing live so no music, online i will go through spells of listening to music, depending on the mood and the importance, techno/trance is probably best for me, just a beat in the background that does not make you take away with your thoughts too much, if it is music with more meaning with words, i feel this can send the mind away from the focus needed for poker.

I listen to classic rock from the 70's and 80's. It doesn't distract me at all, it actually keeps me relaxed and zoned in.
