Music and Poker

So... Do you listen to music while you play poker online? And if so, what do you listen to???

I tend listen to a select few bands while playing poker the most popular of my selections beings:

dredg (purposely not capitalized)
Porcupine Tree
DJ Dean
Living Legends

i love listning to trance music when playing poker. DJ sets tent to last upto one hour or two and it's good chilled music.
But im tryin not to play music when playin in tourneis and try concertrate on the game. I tend to get carried away with music at times haha.

Almost allways listen to music while playing.
No real prefrence witch kind, just what im in mood for.
Latly its mostly been The Killers and the new Green day album...

I rarely listen to music while playing, however, I do things like this forum or other work on my computer early in a game. As the game gets more critical my focus becomes greater and I give the game my undivded attention.

nope

For me,I do not listen to music,and I try not to be doing anything else on my computer,not even another poker game if I can help it.I noticed my game suffers if i multi-task.
However,I have found that,watching a good movie I like,I do play better poker.I guess I am more patient and am watching TV,during those spells That I am not getting good cards,therefore Im not dwindling away chips.
It really is very important.

i listen to music while playing sometimes. if i do its on mtv jams or sirus through my tv cause its hooked up to my stereo system and 4 15: subs seem to do the job. i also love to listen to trance,house, etc cause its an uplifting soud when ur deep in a game. but i love the quietness also when im concentrating hard. good luck

I listen to music about half of the time, as it helps me concentrate, other than playing music, I am doing nothing else(unless I am in a CC challenge, then I will post occasionally). As far as the kind of music I listen to, it is all random... from the Heaviest of Metal, to Country, to Techno, to a little Rap, even some slower stuff... I have about 20,000 songs that shuffle through, so it's all out there.

By the way, nightmoves... working on the weedeater doesn't help your concentration, I hope the TV does

I have a few playlists ---

Rammstein
Dommin
Moonspell
Type O Negative
Lollipop Lust Kill
Rob Zombie
Charon
Samael
The Vision Bleak
The Offspring
The Genitorturers
Nine Inch Nails
Ministry

Mortis, wouldn't take you for an Offspring kind of guy...

I'll usually listen to music during a MTT but not always in a Sit&go. Type
of music varies to my mood. I think it helps my play, more patience

sometimes...if its really late and there's nothing but infomercials on tv. i usually watch tv (well, its to my back)

I find i play so well everytime i listen to Eminem's new ablum...... ive won over 100$ too sound strange but each to are own

I like to listen to Internet radio on iTunes, mostly the alternative stations. Favorites are KROQ (my favorite station when I lived in Orange County) and Big R Radio (both their 90s Alternative and current Alternative Rock versions are good). The better the beat, the better I bet!

i need all my contration on live tny but i listen to music what play online

ive never listen to music live (havnt been botherd to buy a MP3 player) plus i may think i'd miss something or make a string bet...plus i like to concerntrate while playin in tournies...

I love to listen some electronic music, for me is thrapy lol, i listen alien project, some of dj shog, neelix anjd obviusly hypersonic, well Gl

Music

I tend to listen to alot of music while I'm playing sessions at the local casinos. Listen to anything from hip hop (dilated people, dj premiere beat junkies) to alternative (shinedown, seether, linkin park) to hardcore/metal (downset, earth crisis, suicide silence, hatebreed). Really puts it in perspective of all the different moods you get while playing poker.

It really depends what kind of mood im in .
I generally listen to music that eases my mind.
I really like jimmy buffett it helps me relax.
I also like listening to eminem while playing...

Ska Ska Ska.

I like to listen to rap, pop, R&B and reggaeton that have very strong beats because I would say I feel better with those playing. I also listen to trance from time to time and sometimes have rock playing. In a live game I try to keep from being distracted because you can pick something up from all the banter.

I mean, it's not that it doesn't make sense, I guess I just always took you as more of a metal kind of guy than punk(not that a lot of people who are into one aren't into the other, I being one). I think it's all just because of the Metal music thread that you posted a while ago with posts about bands like Morbid Angel and Aborted Fetus(can't remember if you even mentioned those two bands, just similar)

I listen to some downtempo electronic music, like some trip hop,and I also listen to some pete rock, and premier and stuff like that, it helps me relax and focus.
