Do you play music while playing poker?

who115 · Apr 23, 2019

It depends on my mood. I find sometimes it relaxes me and helps me concentrate better. Like you said it can be a good distraction after a bad beat!!

not really, i need to stay focused

Online? Yes - I fired up youtube and turn on a playlist on my TV next to my PC.
Live? No - I end up talking with players, flirting with the drink girl, watching TV, etc...

I listen to music to relax and be less nervous while playing.

I like to listen to music when I play! Like Reggae and 80's music!

I'm a musician so listening to music takes a lot of my concentration away. I like to play cards with a movie or tv show in the background... typically sports... that way I don't feel the need to focus so much on the background noise.

I eventually hear documentaries on youtube as I play, lately I've seen things like quantum mechanics, new discoveries about outer space, natural medicine, and how things work.

I guess I'm a crumudgen, I just don't do it. I don't like to shut myself completely off from the world. Would probably help. Good luck.

Have a lot of different poker playlists, I find myself that different sessions need different music

music when playing poker helps to relax

XYZ2123 · Apr 27, 2019

Its really up to you. For me personally music is a distraction. For others it helps them concentrate. If you do choose to listen to music while playing, instrumental music is better as trying to understand lyrics make it harder to focus on a specific task.

NUGGEETTEE · Apr 27, 2019

Interesting question. I havent tried to play with music online but when I got to live poker at the casino I like to bring headphones

Yes, I hear a radio station with my favorite music. I covers all the disturbing sounds and is a wonderfull backround.

nawh i usually pause the tv when getting deep sometimes it works sometimes not

guineasqueak · Apr 27, 2019

Yes, I always listen to chill lounge mixes when grinding online. Helps with relaxation and gathering of thoughts under pressure.

Live, not as often. I like to hear and be aware of the situation around me at the table. And some action players will categorically refuse to give their action to a hooded and quiet guy with earbuds and phablet for simultaneous online grinding.

purecomedian1 · Apr 27, 2019

not really it's a good way of passing some time to wait but when it's game time i like it quite because i enjoy the sounds of the game its self that it makes

Complx_Poker · Apr 27, 2019

I always listen to music when playing online, but only rarely listen when playing live, mainly because i like to hear whats going on.

I tend to listen to liquid drum and bass. Give Netsky a listen, he's really good

If it's not music that I'm listening to than it's definitely some kind of background noise. The news, youtube videos etc. 100%

Mortis71 · Apr 27, 2019

Yes I do, everytime
first song always...... Desire to fire- Machinehead
and to cheer me up after a badbeat..... Qwerty- Mushroomhead
ITM song....... I get money- 50 Cent ( can double as FT song)

70-00's metal
80-00's hiphop/rap
