I am a NO Music online player as well as live. I do however multi task online when I am playing poker. Either playing multiple tables or checking my fantasy sports teams . I will focus more in later stages of tournaments. I am actually writing this while playing a small tournament LOL

I almost always play with quiet background music, it does not interfere, does not distract and helps to keep myself toned especially during long sessions

Play some Skynyrd

I listen to music while playing online. It keeps me focused on the game. There is a physiological influence by people whom appear to not be focused on the game when in actuality they are watching every twitch you make.

So when at the felt or just online do you enjoy music whilst playing or find it distracting. In general I feel like it helps me focus and not get impatient easily. At the felt in tournaments I have even seen people watching sports and even a film! Barely having interest in the poker.
listening to music during the game relaxes me, although I like a heavier sound, it calms me down, I never play in front of the television it takes all my concentration.
lol.
We are together.
😎👊🍀💰

I'm sure that music during the game is a distraction! Perception of music as such is already a process, on which to spend the resources of your brain. If the music relaxes - the more it is not worth listening to it during the game, as the concentration is one of the main elements of a successful game at the tables.

Almost never music, usually watching poker on YouTube on my TV (or news) while I play on my desktop.

I feel Music keeps me calm. Jimi Hendrix said it was the strongest substance on the face of the earth, Helps you forget, also helps you remember, can make you cry or it can make you laugh, I would say that's a power and backed up statement.
Peace" and happy bank rolling....

If I plan on playing a long session I definitely enjoy some music but I don’t have it on all the time. Sometimes my Netflix on the tv does the trick making some background noise.

I'm a musician, so I've got a song, you're paying attention to it. It finishes getting me the focus, reason why I prefer without interference interference.

All depends on my mood, and I have changes all the time

I agree depends on my mood for sure. I usually do listen to music while grinding online usually either some form of hip-hop/rap or electronica/psytrance music even though favorite genres are often metal/rock I find that music too aggressive can make me get a little ****y in my play.

Other night I listened to music with one earbud in at live game, which was first time I ever did that at casino and I decided to try it mostly because I was super card dead and then had back to back brutal rivers (one stacked me after a gut shot suck out), reload, and next hand river a flush only to have someone have their 43 runner runner into a boat but fortunately that one was only for a small pot but still. I turned on some down tempo electronica (Emancipator) and it def helped me stay mellow and focused in the face of just really whiffing every flop, missing draws, or getting out drawn for hours. Ended as a losing session but overall felt good with my play and the music I think helped keep me even keeled in the face of just a brutal session.

I used to listen to music a good bit while playing. Anymore, sometimes I do most times I forget to put any on. lol Getting older I guess, used to be I would play music all of the time.
