I enjoy music when I play, but I am not sure if the music makes me play better or worse. What do you think?

When I play poker, I almost always listen to rap and rock. And it doesn't bother me in any way, on the contrary, it invigorates me.

The only problem with listening to music while you play, is if you get too pumped up by the song and start getting reckless

The important thing is that it doesn't distract you. I normally start my poker session with music and the more I advance in the tournaments there comes a point that I take it off because I'm very focused and I feel that there comes a point where it starts to distract me, it depends on each person, another advice I would give is that they already have their different playlists ready for the session

I don't like to listen to Music if I am playing in a Live Game as I am already hard of hearing and do not want to Call an all-in by mistake which has happened in the past, On-line however I can see what the Call is going to cost me so have little to fear there. But my wife hates the constant clicking noise of bets going in and I have to wear headphones when I play.
Some times I will have music Videos playing on Youtube or even watch a poker game on "Twitch" while I play, switching between Screens when I am not involved in a hand, But I really should be concentrating on the action at my table as you lose too much information doing other things, even if you are not actively involved, there are some things you can spot other players doing which they will repeat in similar situations, and from this type of information you get to know how to out play them.
My favourite Groups at the moment are "Cold Play" and "Maroon 5" but I can listen to any type of Music On-line.

I like playing poker with music or listening to podcasts, but I've noticed that I play better in silence.

Music relaxes our senses, so it could happen that you play too loose and pay for it

The choice of music while playing poker can be subjective, as different players have varying preferences and responses to music. However, here are a few considerations to keep in mind when selecting music for your poker sessions:

  1. Ambient or Instrumental Music: Many players find that ambient or instrumental music without lyrics can be beneficial during poker sessions. This type of music tends to be less distracting and allows for better focus and concentration on the game. Genres like classical, jazz, electronic, or chillout can be suitable choices.
  2. Calming or Relaxing Music: Poker can be an intense and mentally demanding game, so opting for calming or relaxing music can help create a more soothing atmosphere. Soft melodies, nature sounds, or mellow tunes can contribute to a relaxed state of mind and help maintain composure during gameplay.
  3. Familiar and Non-Distracting Music: It's generally advisable to select music that you are familiar with and that won't divert your attention from the game. Avoid songs with overly catchy hooks or lyrics that may draw your focus away from the strategic aspects of poker.
  4. Personal Preference and Comfort: Ultimately, the best music to listen to while playing poker is one that aligns with your personal taste and creates a comfortable playing environment for you. Some players may find that listening to their favorite songs or genres enhances their mood and concentration, while others prefer a more neutral background ambiance.
Remember that the primary goal is to create an atmosphere conducive to your focus, decision-making, and overall poker performance. Experiment with different music genres and styles to find what works best for you. Additionally, be considerate of others if you're playing in a live poker setting, as your choice of music should not disturb or distract fellow players.
