Do you listen to music while you play?

blackplanet · Feb 17, 2016

Music can be a distraction to me I prefer to play in silence and stay focused. If for some reason I need a break during a long tournament i might listen to a song or two just to relax but never while playing.

Did you know that headphones are not allowed when you make the money at wsop?

AlyLauren · Feb 18, 2016

No I don't listen to music when I play, since I wanna focus on the game itself, but of course every players have different preferences.

paulsmall007 · Feb 18, 2016

I like using headphones, and even use certain music to influence my goal, something fast and upbeat to get started mixing it up to build a stack, than deeper the run I like to go with classical where I need to be calm and think about my decisions.

Music at the table...

Hey Grinders,

I been doing this for a long time, and I have found that having a headset on or flooding myself with music isn't always the best option.

when i first get to a table I really want to pay attention to what players are doing and how the table is playing.

HOWEVER!

8-10 hours in, music is a game changer, it keeps me fresh and aware without much effort, I think its a massive advantage when it comes to the wee hours of the morning and the other players are starting to fade.

Till next time, KEEP IT GRINDING

I love to listen music while i play poker,but i avoid some directions in music on table.

jmcurley · Feb 22, 2016

I don't like listening to music when I play live. I prefer to talk to people at the table. Usually a few people will engage in conversation and it makes for a more sociable atmosphere, which is what I prefer.

TeUnit · Feb 22, 2016

music may cause more emotion in people, which is probably not what you want at the poker table

Syltan · Feb 22, 2016

Don't listen to music at all. If you listen to happy music you play too aggressive. If I listen to relaxing music we play too pasive.

BentleyBoy · Feb 22, 2016

I usually restrict myself to classical music while playing poker, as otherwise I end up singing along to popular songs and not concentrating on the poker. However, today, just by chance of fate, I am listening to David Bowie. It does affect my concentration a little bit but I can't really tell you what songs have been playing so maybe my main focus is on poker.

shody · Feb 22, 2016

Im always listening it,i feel better with some good music in my head.

DontAskWh · Feb 22, 2016

I listen sometimes music during playing , but I think when I playing with music I can make big mistakes.

Jnuttall26 · Feb 22, 2016

I do not. I like it quite. Music will sometimes throw me off my game, if I am listening to a good song I start to sing lol

acidburnfx · Feb 22, 2016

Sometimes with and without music, focus is always priority.

SnGLearn · Feb 22, 2016

I recommend listening before the session. Music makes me feel better.
Listening to music puts me in an optimum mood (zone).
When I feel tired during the session, a good idea is to listen to music,
because it reduces fatigue.
Supporter listening to music when playing poker is a WSOP bracelet winner Bryan Piccioli.

Music is a two edged sword

The right music is relaxing and calms the nerves enabling decisions based on intellect not panic. The wrong music is distracting and screws with your head. I would rather play multiple tournaments at the same time to maintain focus.

I listen to metal when i am running good because it pumps me up but as soon as i get a bad beat and get even remotely tilted i turn it off or switch it to something more peaceful.

tbdbitl · Feb 22, 2016

I watch Pawn Stars and think about my next trip to Vegas!

EG7497 · Feb 23, 2016

I listen to a lot of chill stuff when I'm playing, can be calming and motivating at the same time.
