I usually play CD's (remember them) when I am playing and if I win with one playing I keep playing until I lose with it.
It is my only poker superstition.
Did good with The Cream today so they are on for next game. :)

Music helps in many moments of focus , from the time I remember school as taught by rap verses , so choose music over and win first place !

Yes I listen to my playlists all the time when I am playing online! Some good reggae will usually get me in the flow and keep me focused!

Playing online - yes, I can listen to music or have the tv on in the background.

Playing live - I have tried it multiple times and it is wayyy too distracting. I think players just don't like to admit that it is - can't tell you how many times I have seen dealers trying to get the attention of someone with headphones on.

My mind dont work with music as well as when is everything quiet.
I really play with so much more focus, but it may work with many people.

By the way , try to immerse yourself in the game to classical music , it helps relax and let concentrate on the game .

I don't listen to music while I am playing but on the drive to a live tournament usually 2 or 3 hours, I live right in the middle of Florida north to south on the east coast so Tampa, Hollywood or Jacksonville is where I am headed. Anyway It is always Elvis*** Elvis***Elvis Live from Hawaii via satellite followed up with The 68 comeback special :) after that don't ask me why but I am ready to play.

I like to listen to something while I play. Wheter it be a sports broadcast on the TV or some music, I usually have something on in the background. I feel it helps me focus. I don't feel like it influences my play though.. A fast pace song doesn't make me suddenly play aggressively, nor does a slower song do the opposite.

not sure what a zoom table is but techno does sound like it would work good there... i have been playing a lot without music and doing pretty good, but i still think the right music gets you in the right zone

My input.

I get rhapsody.com or pandora.com. Download everything from classical, jazz, country, rocknroll, r and b, orchestra, kids music, religious music,ect. The random mode. God's angels the DJ then. They play the music according to how you should play. Loose rocknrom, rnb, or rap ect. and tight classical jazz orchestra. The ebs and tides with God and win or lose with God. There is reasons.

MUSIC in poker :)

I wonder whether you are listening to music and playing poker whether it is one of the factors that help to tune in to the game?
