music
I'm starting to use music when I'm in tournaments and I see I'm starting to get nervous, I can improve my focus and have better emotional control.

I'm playing stuff like movie soundtracks, sounds of a rain/fireplace, or really calm electronic music, something that is just a nice calming background creating a good atmosphere but not distracting me.

I always play poker to music, it helps to gather my thoughts and concentrate on the game for victory.

I listen to music while I play. Mostly rock. It doesn't help me play the game any better but I like it though.

So when at the felt or just online do you enjoy music whilst playing or find it distracting. In general I feel like it helps me focus and not get impatient easily. At the felt in tournaments I have even seen people watching sports and even a film! Barely having interest in the poker.









Personally, I'm distracted by music from the game, if it's very emotional. I start to play more aggressively because of this and make more mistakes. Sometimes I can watch some kind of video on YouTube and play poker at the same time, but this rarely happens when I do not play several tables at once)

If a quiet environment is not possible, better put a song.

I only listen to music when playing online and I think that it can help you stay focused if you choose the right music...I would not got to a live game with headphones on though.... I think that in a live game it distracts me too much from reading other players

Music in the background is very good for me. Only not very loud))) You can still watch some TV shows also in the background.

Generally yes to music, as to what kind of music I find "simpler music" such as Miles Davis Kind of Blue over Bitches Brew.

I will sometimes also listen to a podcast while I play, but I admit it could be detrimental.

Good question.

I like to listen to music when I play less than 3 tables. Then I often listen to calm music like casino music or even to the "Winnetou theme".

When I play more than three tables and listen to music I often feel uncomfortable and tend to be distracted.

Greets and best of luck!

I do not listen to music during tournaments, it does not allow me to concentrate.
