Whether I listen to music or not depends on my mood. I don't have a list of favorite songs, I listen to different music. But lately, I've been watching football matches.

When it comes to poker, I prefer silence. Well, or in extreme cases, a quiet background sound like a movie, although, in principle, any kind of music can be the background sound. When I play a tournament, I try to focus on the game, and not listen to music))

This is one of the cardinal sins of poker.

You should never, ever, ever :-

Drink alcohol
Listen to music
Eat
Multitask

In other words, any non-playing activity, while playing, is a distraction, and a road to poker disaster.

These WILL get you in trouble.



(Just ask me).

Laconic and absolutely accurate!
But I do all of this :(:(

I don't listen to music, but podcasts while playing. This does not prevent me from concentrating on dealing cards. This helps me to be in a good mood, to control my emotions during bad beats.

YES

I mean it’s better than hearing someone complain. Or talk crap to you the whole time. I love my headphones.

I usually only put on the tunes when just playing 1 table - so I'm not too busy and there is a lot of time between decisions. I can enjoy the music while observing other play at table.

I do listen to music at home while playing poker. It is relaxing and I do enjoy the atmosphere. Good luck to all.

No, in my case it hinders concentration. I can't say I play muted all the time, because sometimes my neighbor... Never mind :)
