I like do read something news or something for school and most of the time i am listening to music because it relax me and i don't go tilt so easy 😛
 
i usually listen music ,and watching youtube pokerpros but only on begin,later i must to focus on game
 
When I play online poker, there is always something else going on. I'm usually watching TV, listening to music, or even often cooking. If a session lasts long enough I take notes on players.
 
I try to avoid movies and tv all together. For me i play best when i multi table while in a quiet room and talk myself through my decision making at each table. Wife thinks im strange but who cares lol
 
music

Any times when i can I put earphone and some mousic , and realy Im not pised after i lose like im without music😀
 
I think it depends on the types/amounts of games I am playing. For example, if I am single tabling a tournament I do not feel guilty flipping on the television or picking up a book in the early stages, as long as I focus when involved in a pot. I still try and learn about my opponents tendencies however while doing so. Multitabling (for me 3 or more in this case), I will try and eliminate all distractions.
 
Do you listen to music while you play a tournament?

When i play tournament i listen Lotr and The Hobbit soundtrack, relaxes me... But when i play cash game i listen Hip Hop, because of big adrenaline...

What about you guys? 🙂
 
I cant play poker without music,i listen only rap/hip hop,im a big fan of Eminem and Wu Tang Clan,they keep me focus on the game 😀
 
I usually have a movie playing in the background. But I play music too, just can't play in silence!
 
Most of the time I do nothing and concentrate only on my game. But sometimes I listen music also.
 
I listen to music . Sometimes watch a film or football or another sport that might be on. Sometimes i have a few beers while playing ( not recommended though). I only play 1 table at a time though 🙂
 
I used to play with the tv on, but then I tested with the tv off and I was in another level of concentration. I also like some noise at the background but the tv was too much of a distraction, now I tend to listen to classical music. I recommend Bach.

You should only listen to Bach if you feel you are the underdog. 🙂
 
less than 3 tables for me means movies,music(easy one...),even video games =) im not propokerdude, not playn super tourneys, so i can allow it =) maybe i lose my concentration, but it slow down my agression, so its better anyway =)))

more than 3 tables, or turbo+ mtt unfortunately means only poker...
 
Always in different ways, depending on the tournament, if a kid is something I listen to music watch TV, and if the tournament is strong, then soredatoachivayus entirely on the game, doing so would not that did not hurt.
 
If I'm playing tourneys then I will browse thew interwebs the whole time 🙂 If I'm playing cash I tend to pay attention more to what people are doing and how I should be adjusting. But yea tourneys are mostly luck anyways who cares lol
