It depends on what goal I set for myself when I start playing poker. If I just want to have a good time, then I can listen to music while playing, or even turn on a movie or TV series on half the laptop screen. I've always done this before, but now I'm trying to concentrate more on playing poker and thanks to this I've started to get better results. Any extraneous factor, be it music or a movie, distracts me from poker. It is better to direct energy to one thing and then the result will be better.
