Sorry if there is a similar post but I was wondering if anyone listened to music while they played.
Does it affect your playing style?
Do you listen to music in LIVE games (if you play Live)?
What musician/band does your playlist consist of?

I listen to music in the backround when I play online but I don't in live games and sometimes I feel the music helps me relax and play better online but I never tried in a live game which I will next time to see how it affects it, just curious on other player's thoughts on the subject.

Not in live games, but online poker I tend to listen to music w/o lyrics like electronic. If there are lyrics then I can't focus on the game because I'm trying to sing along haha.

every time i go play live, i take my ipod with me as well as some noise cancelling earphones. listening to slot machines continually going off for 2-3 hours is just about enough to drive me bat shit crazy

Sometimes I do. It depends on my mood, the amount of tournaments I'm playing, etc.

And there's a wide range of music I could listen to while playing poker, again, depending on my mood.

depends

Hi there. I think it depends on the game. I tend to play on low so i can hear what people are saying. Be careful because some casinos have bad beats and playing with your ipod/iphone can void the bad beat.

I always listen to music while playing online. During recent CC FT $150 freeroll I listened Slade's Oh LaLa in La all the time but it did't help - I was eliminated.

Yes of course and I do not imagine the online game without music.Things like TV contrary distract me, but the music helps to cheer up and to cope with difficult moments at the table.

Sometimes I do. That relaxes me and I play better poker and don't get tilted so fast.

Listen to music if anything noisy distracts me. Music is better (but silence is the best).

Poker & Music

Do you listen to music when you play poker? If so what? Does it affect your play? I listen to everything and I think the more aggressive or very passive makes me aggro
