I can listen to any music. It all depends on my mood. Not only during poker but also in life in general.

When playing online, I'm always searching and listening to new music to work into my DJ sets. I've discovered quite a bit of new dance floor bangers while playing online lately. At brick and mortar poker, I never listen to music as I like to devote my focus to getting a read on players.

I am comfortably capable of both with and without although i do find it largely depends on lots of factors ie, whether im alone or with other none players, even time of day believe it or not.

Anxiety disturbs, so it's better to do other things when you play, watch the television while playing.

I always listen to music during my session. It can help to concentrate.

I can get down with background type music, instrumental or the radio, at any given time playing cards. It can prevent boredom, get you comfortable at the table so you don't make bad / hasty decisions.

Sometimes if I need some inspiration or motivation to boost my brain activity, I could choose to play some of my favorite songs, but just for a boost. I don't want to be clicking elsewhere to change songs or a station, so I rather the music coming from the TV or radio.

I like a good music when I'm practicing my poker, it makes me more relaxed, I prefer something like Mozart, Richard Clayderman, because rock style music does not leave me alone

I believe music can both influence your poker gameplay in a bad and good way. Some songs will give you more energy, while others will make you dream. You have to be able to ignore the music so it doesn't distract you. I used to play with music constantly, now I only almost play without it. I notice I play better when I take the time to focus on my table, instead of just clicking something when the table's screen pops up.

You should decide for yourself whether or not you like to play with music or without, and especially which genre you'll be listening to.

Depends. Sometimes it helps me focus and not turn impatient, other times it distracts me and makes me feel claustrophobic.

I noticed that I play better with music. And headphones help to disconnect from external stimuli ...

The other day I listened to some quiet jazz music in the background as I played online. I don't normally listen to jazz but it definitely helped me to relax after losing big hands.

In any game poker room you can see a lot of people in headphones or with MP3 players. Many listen to music for a more enjoyable pastime at the gaming table. However, psychologists say that music is an effective tool that can make you a successful player. Music is an incredibly powerful psychological phenomenon

Last night I was playing my biggest tournament in my life with 215$ buy-in. I was listening to music, but when I had to make that big descion I turned off my music.Don`t know why, but music makes me angry, when I need to be patient.

I don't want music when I play, but I love having the TV on -- the distraction seems to work in my favor.

I always listen to music during the game. It helps me to stay focused and relaxed at the same time :). Mostly, I listen deep house mixes..
