Listening to music while playing.

online i always have music playing, live i like to listen to music quietly so that i am still able to hear action, helps me focus

Tunes keep me sane

I use music to help control my mood and mental health while playing cards.

I wrote about it here.

i agree with ozexorcist. u miss out on information and it is kind of annoying when the same person keeps asking questions that they would have known if they were paying attention

...and if it's annoying for you as a player, spare a thought for your dealer

:thrasher: live, yes have in the past, but not all the time, on line yes need something else to hear besides the chips clacking and cards being shuffled...i didn't in the past, but when it was quiet i could still hear chips clanging and cards shuffled, so now i always have music on, rounders radio plays alot of good music on line, usually have it on, or classic rock station on cable.

Live no, because I usually make the decision last minute to play live. Yes online though because I need something to relax me while I think.
