How do you play - poker ? Music, if so, what?) Or do you concentrate in silence, another option, watch TV?

Most of the time I will have music playing in the background.. if i'm at a live game.. i'll have one earbud in playing some trans or chill ambient music but am still able to hear what's going on at the table..
...Other times if i really am not in the mood to socialize and there are just idiots at the table.. i'll turn it up to drown em out lol

can't say for sure. It depends on the state of mind. Sometimes you want silence, sometimes music.

My opinion

I like music when I play. I add all genders to the mix from kids music to oldies to reniassance to rock-n-roll to country it tells me how to bet a hand I am in when I get god hole cards. From the all-in rock-n-roll to the conservative grinding of country.

I use to watch tv or soccer,but i read a book in were they talk about mainfullness, and who important is to train your brain to be concient on wath you are doing and that way you can concentrate 100% on it,so now i only play,when isnt a very important tournament i relax a little and watch tv/soccer.

Hi.
I often listen to music during the game. In my opinion, music contributes to concentration.
Good luck.

It all depends on my mood, I rarely listen to music during the game, as it prevents me from focusing on the game, I try to play several tables at once, so I prefer silence.

Different vibrations different effects, I prefer the quiet though or I'll put some EDM on or some classical for a short while. I find any music constantly going eventually ends up turning me out but for a time it can be exactly what I needed.

each person has his own way to concentrate, there are people who prefer silence and others with music, I think that the night is better to play, but be careful when you get tired do not continue and good luck

Silence. You can pick up on tells by observing and listen to your opponents.

I actually like silence for the most part. But if you are a bit tired, I can definitely see how you would benefit from music too. I think the biggest thing is if you feel distracted, then it is not a good idea. You know, like if you are more focused on the show being watched as opposed to the hand being played, then it might not be a good idea.

It depends on a lot of things (time of day, did I workout yet, where My workstation is today, tourney or cash, etc.,)

Definitely music, and depends on the time of day and mood I'm going for. Mostly something relaxing, and simple. Classical, EDM stuff without lyrics for the most part. If I start to get a little tired or zoning out while playing then start the rock...
