While I'm playing poker, I might listen to music or watch poker shows that I have recorded in my DVR. As far as music I try to keep it light. I might listen to a little bit of classic rock, some old school R&B. I try to stay away from anything to hard or aggressive, as it has a tendency to make me play overly aggressive. As far as what I might watch, watching poker tends help me get into a poker mindset, but I might actually start with an episode of Jeopardy. I record Jeopardy every day and will often watch it just as I am sitting down to start playing poker because I feel like it jump starts my brain. When I really get into the game though, it doesn't really matter what else is going on in the room. When I lean in and focus in on the game, you could probably yell fire and it wouldn't register. Instead of getting up and running out of the house, I'd probably be like "Huh? What? Oh here ya go" as I try to hand you Zippo.
