It depends on each person. Some people like to listen to music, it motivates them. Other people feel that they lose focus if they use music.

I never listen to music while playing poker, without music I play more focused.

I think it always depends to the mood you re in and the game you play.
sometimes music is good and sometimes silence , for example finale tables should be quiet and concentrated but on the way there it can be nice and relaxing to listen music.

Music only interferes with my play and work. I love peace and quiet. When I was young, I loved to listen to Pink Floyd, ABBA, Smokey.

Online I am more likely to listen to music (sometimes I will and sometimes I won't). In live poker, I prefer silence and to remain attentive to what is going on. I also don't want to miss any potential "audio tells" my opponent(s) give off because I have headphones/music etc. When playing online games, there is no such danger in missing those tells because no one can "pick up on them" in online games. Perhaps that is one reason I am more likely to listen to music online than live. In live poker, I don't think music would distract me much if at all - but I prefer to focus on the moment and game instead.

If I do listen to anything, I like "poker music" to get me mentally motivated. Songs like John Cameron 4 O'clock Rumble, Kenny Rogers Gambler or even Motorhead Ace of Spades. Other times I just prefer classical music and calming things. Probably everyone will just listen to what kinds of music they normally enjoy.

I listen to music, but also pull up a twitch stream (which typically has music playing). Lots of good streams to chill with while you play.

It really depends to the mood.


Peace or rock music infect slow play or all-in. :)
