#1 11th August 2008, 4:54 AM

when am on fire... and having a super game... I like to listen to Trance/Techno music... to keep that energy going...

if things are going ok, kind of chill and slow... then I listen to some 80s music...

O.A.R. - Crazy Game of Poker

When I play I am usually watching TV so I don't listen to anything. If it during tourney time then I like to listen to rounders radio. They play alot of good stuff on there.

#6 11th August 2008, 8:51 AM

I listen to Rounders radio.

Awesome music, good discussions and freerolls thrown in to boot...

Would recommend it to anyone.

Tonight it's hip hop, though depending on mood it can also be psytrance. Or commercial dance. Or black and death metal - that can actually be quite soothing.

I listen rock, in my player favorite; too I listen online radio classic music;
but in final table in tournament my music it is in off.

I listen to my wife, which tell me that I sit over three hours on the PC and now I have stop to play. That is that what I listen when I play poker. I think to hear music is better then a crying wife. Or not?

Have a good time,

Mother in law and continual chatter about nothing

#14 11th August 2008, 7:03 PM

listening to coldplay 24 hours of the day

#15 11th August 2008, 7:32 PM

I think that was created a myth that is necessary listen music to play poker.... definitely I prefer no listen anything, when I m playing play poker...

#16 11th August 2008, 7:34 PM

It's all about the classic rock and the slower hiphop. It just depends on the mood I'm in or I might change during a tournament depending on my stack and if Im playing aggressive or conservative.

#17 11th August 2008, 7:38 PM

I think music can have a huge impact on your playing style. I'm looking to experiment more on music and how it affects my play; specifically, my table aggression.

I've found that when multi-tabling, I like speed metal. Dethklok has been my band of choice in the past. Dragonforce is also good for that. Alternately, industrial-type metal like Killing Joke is good.

Lately, I've been listening to nothing but classical music, and I've been on my biggest heater since I started. (coincidence?) I think it keeps me calm, keeps my aggression in check, and facilitates big laydowns.

#23 11th August 2008, 10:04 PM

#24 11th August 2008, 11:50 PM

i usually am watching tv or watching a movie, recently i have been watching the olympics. watching tv helps me from rushing and it eases my patience so i dont get too bored

#25 12th August 2008, 3:08 AM

I usually listen to some music that has a badass beat to it, like Rap or Rock. Lately I've started watching TV shows on youtube such as seinfeld and for some reason I tend to play better and slower when I watch something in the background. Perhaps I don't concentrate as hard enough and play more loosely (normally I'm a really tight player). Watching the WSOP Main Event or other such tournaments online really helps me get in the mood to play some winning poker.

#26 12th August 2008, 8:24 AM

TOOL, Tom Petty, Sublime, Chilli Peppers, Pumpkins

#27 12th August 2008, 9:07 AM

the sounds of my own screams.

#28 12th August 2008, 10:29 AM

I love music....any kind of music! So when imma playing, I find something to fit my mood. It could be some good old boy country rock, ass kickin' hard rock, blues, rap or sometimes some classical music. But one thing is a certainty...I'm always playing with the tunes crankin'! (Usually with the headphones on, so as not to disturb the whole household.)

#29 12th August 2008, 1:17 PM

I'm very eclectic, anything from Buddy Holly to Lacrimosa.

#30 12th August 2008, 3:43 PM

Tha Carter III

#31 12th August 2008, 3:47 PM

i listen to punk rock while playing poker ..it keeps me really into the game... i listen to " protest the hero", " silverstein", "the red jumpsuit apparatus" and " goodnight nurse"

#32 12th August 2008, 5:00 PM

The last couple of days I have been listening to the 80s, but most of the time I listen rock while I'm playing poker.

#33 12th August 2008, 5:01 PM

Metal - Moonspell, Amon Amarth, Kreator, Type O Negative, Rob and White Zombie, Hatebreed.... also some Danzig and Alice Cooper thrown in there.

#34 12th August 2008, 5:28 PM

Rounders Radio. I like your reply gn2056. Sound of my own screams. lol
