Yes, music for relaxation, without words, the melody itself, helps a lot, but if I were alone in the room and a mug of coffee, and nothing else is needed, and two aces

Most poker players prefer high-energy and uplifting music with minimal vocals to accompany their game. like house music to improve concentration and performance
for me most of times i play with out listening to music and some times i listen to classical music especially Mozart and Beethoven

Most of the time yes, mostly the first 3 or 4 hours of long sessions.

I do barely anything without music, I'm just way more productive with something rumbling in the background, so yea same goes for playing poker. Can't really play without music.

My opinion is that it suits, but there are people who prefer to concentrate as much as possible, and for them, sometimes the music gets in the way. I listen to a lot of electronic music while playing poker.

sometimes I listen to rock during the session, but not at a high volume, so as not to interfere with my playing

Hi, shokoba! Sometimes I listen to different music during play in Poker, if this is helping... But in basically, I try to concentrate only on a Game too!

Generally, I do not think they are a great match.

I think music may cause an emotional response, when you want to remain even keeled.

When playing live I think its harder to pick up on any conversations if you got the tunes cranked.

If it's only about poker online than YES, as like for many poker players music(especially high-energy music) helps me concentrate and overall improves my performance during my sessions... I don't know if this can apply to newer players to the game too but for the ones that pretty much know what they should do in many different situations- I think music or something else(like Twitch) can help a lot to keep your focus and play your A game for longer periods of time...

2 of my favorite playlists but I have quite a few saved from different poker streamers too(for example 888poker ambassador andreicoz usually has great music playing during his sessions*
):

I think music doesn't stop me from playing poker. What I can’t say about watching a movie in parallel with the game, here I’m distracted from the plot, or I make mistakes in the game. But I rarely listen to music while playing lately, I just have such a job that I can listen to music during the day, and at home I take a break from it.

Poker and music can complement each other well, as both can create a dynamic and immersive experience. Music can help create an ambiance conducive to concentration and relaxation, enhancing the overall poker atmosphere. It can also contribute to setting the mood and adding excitement during intense gameplay. However, the specific connection between poker and music ultimately depends on individual preferences and the desired atmosphere of the game. Whether it's the subdued melodies in a casino or the energetic beats during an online game, the combination of poker and music can create a vibrant and engaging environment for players.

The most beautiful music is the sound of shuffling cards and the sound of falling chips

Interesting question, I listen to music from time to time while playing, during some unimportant tournaments. I listen to good music, of various genres.
