Poker and music

#1 October 17th, 2020, 1:03 PM

I'm sure someone will have asked this question but I'm interested all the same

Do you listen to music while you play poker or does it effect your concentration?

I have a playlist of 200+ songs I just shuffle when I'm playing and as I have quite eclectic taste there is some really different stuff on there

So if you do listen to music when at the tables what sort of music do you listen to?

To start off this is a few off my playlist

Smokey Robinson - tears of a clown
Pink Floyd - comfortably numb
Radiohead - paranoid android
Prodigy - out of space
NWA - straight outa compton

Told you it was eclectic

I'm a Rock'n Roll, Rock Classic, Blues and "affiliates" guy Poker and music

. But if the subject is poker concentration I go straight for the Classic Jazz, mostly John Coltrane and Billie Holiday (and "affiliates" Poker and music

)

Yes, I like a light deep house in the background. Many now include biorhythms. To improve concentration. Listen before the game

when I listen I like classical music but most of the time I am silent

Hello, my favorite genre of rock, female vocals, instrumental, my favorite canadian rock band that I listen to almost always, The Birthday Massacre this year released a new album, I advise everyone to listen.

I usually prefer classical music. I believe that music improves a player's concentration. But, of course, it all depends on your mood.

#8 October 18th, 2020, 11:09 AM

I have been listening to poker, it interferes. I have been for a long time, I still need to try.

#9 October 18th, 2020, 11:25 AM

I prefer to watch a movie while playing poker. To be honest, a lot of modern music and especially rock is perceived badly for me. I love melodic music.

#10 October 18th, 2020, 12:53 PM

I don�t listen to music while playing poker, it distracts me from the game.

I also don't like music while playing poker, a can't concentrate on my play

Sometimes I listen to music, sometimes I watch TV, sometimes I even read. It depends on my mood. Sometimes music helps me concentrate and sometimes it even distracts me.

#13 October 19th, 2020, 1:55 PM

it depends on the mood. Sometimes I want silence.
And the style of music also depends on the mood. but mainly 3 directions of music: rock, rap, reggae.

I also tried to read it somehow. But I soon realized that poker was interfering with my reading. I just did not perceive the information from the pages of the book and had to reread

Good. I like this!

In short...�I turned a straight while listening to a Rick Ross rap mixtape. Either I kept betting the villain or I kept calling the villain's bets but somewhere between the turn and the river I quickly noticed most of the cards where hearts! Poker and music

Then, I was so CONFIDENT in my straight, my dumbass thinks, "Well I have a 8 of hearts so I'm covered."(yeah, like that's gonna do anything). We went all-in and sure enough the villain had Jh, Qh! Boom! Gone! Think god he had less money than me so he couldn't rake all of it so half came back to me.

Listening to music sometimes can cause you to have over-confidence in your hand. To many endorphins swimming around up there. From now on...�music off for me!

#17 October 20th, 2020, 5:24 AM

Of course I am the type of player that I like to listen to music while I am playing poker ... I am not distracted, the music relaxes me ... I listen to romantic music and reggaeton ...!

I use music when I'm interrupted. Helps to distract from the communication of loved ones. If there is no one, then I play without music.

#19 October 20th, 2020, 6:59 AM

I put my headphones in my ears, I open youtube, and I listen to live music from concerts..sometimes the wave takes me and I pay what I don't have at the game table Poker and music

#20 October 20th, 2020, 7:15 AM

Of course music can help, it depends on which and when, so I prefer the sound of the jungle around me, it's super soothing.

#21 October 25th, 2020, 8:28 PM

of course I listen to music while playing online, I like it helps me relax and motivates me to play, what I listen to the most is hip hop and electronic music and also from your list I have listened to pink floyd from time to time I listen to a little rock soft too.

The music you like motivates you to play, what you don't have to do is distract yourself with social networks or your phone, that is what can prevent you from concentrating on your game.

#22 October 25th, 2020, 10:44 PM

In the online game, it is sometimes interesting to hear a sound while playing, but it is important to remember to never lose concentration in the game

#23 October 26th, 2020, 7:33 AM

During the game, the background is always the Mortal Kombat 1995 movie) The voice acting is naturally pirated, and naturally from Serbin (Russian fans of MK will understand)
It haaaas begun!

I like poker, I adore playing it, and its everything to me. poker is a combination of math, theory, psychological behavior and it is so complicated this is why I love it the most. while playing it I like to listen to music sometimes so that it will make my soul relax. however, the music type that I choose is so relaxing. I have a playlist of 500+ songs I just shuffle them when I'm playing

#25 October 26th, 2020, 10:01 AM

I love listening to music while playing and I find that music has a positive effect on my concentration. I usually prefer instrumental music.

i play a harmonica and listsen to playing for a change music to get my mind calm

#27 October 26th, 2020, 10:09 AM

I really like to play poker and listen to good music such as: Eminem,50 cent,Luda Crisis and so on...

#28 October 26th, 2020, 5:23 PM

It depends on each person. Some people like to listen to music, it motivates them. Other people feel that they lose focus if they use music.

#29 October 26th, 2020, 7:29 PM

I never listen to music while playing poker, without music I play more focused.

#30 October 26th, 2020, 7:40 PM

I think it always depends to the mood you re in and the game you play.
sometimes music is good and sometimes silence , for example finale tables should be quiet and concentrated but on the way there it can be nice and relaxing to listen music.

#31 October 26th, 2020, 7:50 PM

Music only interferes with my play and work. I love peace and quiet. When I was young, I loved to listen to Pink Floyd, ABBA, Smokey.

#32 October 27th, 2020, 12:56 AM

Online I am more likely to listen to music (sometimes I will and sometimes I won't). In live poker, I prefer silence and to remain attentive to what is going on. I also don't want to miss any potential "audio tells" my opponent(s) give off because I have headphones/music etc. When playing online games, there is no such danger in missing those tells because no one can "pick up on them" in online games. Perhaps that is one reason I am more likely to listen to music online than live. In live poker, I don't think music would distract me much if at all - but I prefer to focus on the moment and game instead.

If I do listen to anything, I like "poker music" to get me mentally motivated. Songs like John Cameron 4 O'clock Rumble, Kenny Rogers Gambler or even Motorhead Ace of Spades. Other times I just prefer classical music and calming things. Probably everyone will just listen to what kinds of music they normally enjoy.

#33 October 27th, 2020, 1:18 AM

I listen to music, but also pull up a twitch stream (which typically has music playing). Lots of good streams to chill with while you play.

#34 October 27th, 2020, 1:42 AM

It really depends to the mood.

Peace or rock music infect slow play or all-in. Poker and music
