Player style

Hello, comment on what you like to do while playing poker, whether in cash or in a tournament.

Ex. I like to play poker listening to classical music and tasting a good whiskey (preferably a single malt)



I like having any kind of background noise. helps me focus. and when i drink and play i always drop down to lowest buy ins. I learned that lesson the hard way lol get drunk and then get super cocky and risk 75% of your bankroll lol thats me

I also like listening to music while playing. But I am categorically against alcohol. In my opinion, alcohol weakens concentration and obscures the mind. I am against alcohol consumption.

While playing poker, it is advisable not to be distracted.



Yes, true, I end up losing a lot of good movements due to lack of attention. Thanks for the tip.

While playing, I listen to music, drink a lot of coffee and smoke cigarettes. I also like to play with alcohol, but usually it doesn't help me playing, but the other way around.
Also music, coffee, cigarettes only.


the coffee is good, besides being tasty, it keeps us awake in the game! haha '

Most often, I listen to music from parallel actions. I try not to be distracted by anything during the game, so as not to lose concentration, as I often doubt my decisions. It is fun and interesting to play with alcohol, but this is more entertainment, which is not a pity for your money. Although sometimes there is success. I like to eat delicious food during the game, which is convenient to eat without looking, something like pizza.


Yes, it's true, even if poker is a hobby for me. I have plans to make a lot of money from it. So, I have to take it more seriously, about alcohol, people's senses diminish. Thank you for sharing a little bit of your experience. AAH 'can't miss the pizza! haha '

Music yes, because it is very good companion, but no drink because I want clear mind!

Water mostly, but if having a relaxing session scotch goes nicely. Also I often watch pros streaming on Twitch while playing. Good source for new ideas/improvements.

Would not have any alcohol for sure, not good for decision making , tv on mute in the background cup of tea and probably smoking too much from the stress 😁

Hello.
I never listen to music while playing. Music distracts me and sometimes even annoys me. I also do not drink alcohol. I am convinced that alcohol interferes with good concentration.
Good luck.

When I'm playing, I don't like to watch TV or listen to music. But it's okay to drink a little beer.

I think good calming and relaxing music is really great. I often listen to music to be able to enjoy a longer tournament - mainly nu jazz, lounge and so on. Drinking is important to stay focused, I personally don't like alcohol and I've even given up drinking beer. :eek:

I think that music can be inspiring and good company on many occasions during the game of poker, I do not think in the same way about alcoholic drinks, they deconcentrate and as it progresses my opening range changes which makes me take false steps. I do not recommend drinking and playing.

I think that alcohol and poker are incompatible things, when I drink alcohol I get aggressive and make a lot of mistakes.:)

I usually have music or videos streaming in the background. I do not take it too seriously. Try audiobooks

When you play poker for more than 7-8 hours, light, calm music helps your brain to relax a lot. The main thing is that it does not affect your optimal game.:)
