Are you listening to music or do you prefer to hear just the poker sounds while you are playing online? :thrasher:

Yes, and I almost find it helps me to concentrate better sometimes. As long as Im playing a single table and it's online.

I listen to music sometimes during the game, but only when I play small tournaments such as spin and go or satellites for 4 players, but when I start playing big tournaments I listen to poker sounds during the game so that I can focus normally on the game !

I listen to music during the game, in fact, always.
I prefer classical music. Music well helps me to be focused.

While playing online poker, I like listening to classical music. I think listening to your favorite music will contribute to a good poker game.

With 17,142 songs in my collection (and growing every week) not only do I listen to music but sometimes I'll play guitar too if I can.

In my personal case ... the music distracts me a lot ... however, I like to watch many sports programs ... therefore I always turn on the TV with some sports program ... and it's not necessarily that I'm watching the television but if listening to all the new things happening in the sport ...!

Often

Yes regularly but sometimes silence is preferred. I find techno or house can add to my game if I have 4 tournaments up at the same time seems to keep the speed of thinking more agile. Others genres suffice also classical is good. Multilayered music seems to stimulate the higher thinking or problem solving at speed.

High value games once things get more impactful I would hold off and take more time so no sound can be great and using sound reduction earphones can also help you tap into your more receptive focused thinking channels.

Light positive music helps me focus, uplifting, but the TV distracts me,so I often try to listen to just music.I noticed that the results will improve with it.

Music while playing poker is very distracting to me from the process .. Besides, during the audition I become more aggressive and emotional, so I start making serious mistakes. Most of the time, I just play poker and do not do anything else, but sometimes I can watch the video on YouTube in parallel with the game!:)

if i feel like i need to really zone in and focus i listen to music because it shuts everything but my thoughts out. i also do it when there is someone really annoying at the table that i would rather not listen to. i do like to talk to listen to people and get a read on the table first before listening to music at all though

Live or online i always listen to some relax jazz music. Music really helps me to concentrate. Music never overlap me to do some bad decisions it only helps me to stay calm and concentrate to the game. I'm listening music while playing poker since i started playing :)

Depends on the game what we play. Tournaments - easier decisions, can easy listen music, cash games - need more concentration. Don't know how you guys, but when i listen music i often try to sing, hard to combine with playing :D
