Who all either listens to music while playing online poker or at a house game? Do you think it is distracting?

Very popular question!
Personally, I always listen to music, usually classic.
Music always helps me be focused.

I sometimes listen to music during the game, I'm not distracted by music from the game, I just make the sound a little quieter so that the music does not play loudly for me, I like listening to music during the game, for many players, music can and distracts and hinders the game, for me does not interfere!

I usually listen to music when I'm playing ...if I'm at a live table it helps drown out the dang slot machines ... all around it doesn't distract me it helps me keep my focus ... I usually listen to Jazz when I'm playing ...

As I get older, my concentration wanes more and more. There was a time where I could watch TV, do a crossword puzzle, and carry on a conversation all at the same time.

If there is a lot of noise around me, live or online, I will put on the headphones and listen to some soft rock -- Neil Young, Travelling Willburys, etc. turned up just enough to cancel the outside noise.


Then there is the one game I play every weeknight which has a live broadcast to go with it. It is my "just have fun" game, and it is rock and roll all night long!

I do not consider distraction, but need for myself. Avoid the lack of control when something happens that annoys me. I always listen to music.

I usually play some casino-music mix which can be found on youtube. Those are quiet relaxing and in my case certanly are not distraction. Altough, I think it is important that music is low, just something to be in background, otherwise, I guess it will distrupt my concentration.

I often listen to music when I play poker. This is the only thing that I can do simultaneously with the game without losing concentration.

I do not listen to music, I usually watch something on YouTube, so as not to get bored.

I love to play listening to music, but only a style of music, those that are slow, those that are very agitated or a lot of noise give me a headache and hurt my game.

Yes

Yes, I play music most of the time that I play poker. I find it helps me enjoy it. If I play a big hand sometimes I will pause it.

I hear music of all kinds during the game, it's a way of not making me bored sometimes that I have no action.

It distracts me. I like listening to music, but not at the time when I play poker.

I really enjoy playing poker listening to classic songs, looking to play ANDRE RIEU, you relax and focus more on the game.

I'm not a big fan of listening to music while I play. I get concerned that I'll get distracted and I dont' want to be one of those "what" people.

I always listen to music. If it is a friendly table, home game, cash game, or something interesting is being talked about, then I will only have one ear bud in. If I'm grinding a long tournament, then I tune everything out. At least in the early stages.

I do not think it's a distraction, on the contrary depending on the letter of the most concentration yet. I like to listen to music when I'm starting and finishing a game.
