Don't mind it as background noise but it becomes a distraction if it up to loud.

That depends on the person, for me, I for the most part just block out the music. I could not even tell you what music was even playing.

It is difficult to recommend something because everyone has their own preferences. I usually prefer classical music. But in general, I also believe that music helps the player concentrate.

the tables influence the type of game that will be used but even so there are better influences for each hand the music that I am listening to is classic rock to concentrate

Hello.
I never listen to music while playing. Music distracts me. During the game I try to concentrate as much as possible and that is why I prefer silence.

I very rarely listen to music when I play poker and I don't have a specific direction in music, I listen to the songs I like, regardless of the genre.

I like to listen to music when I play poker. I think slower, calmer music helps play a lot better than fast music.

I am greatly distracted by extraneous sounds. Any sounds, including music. It is especially annoying if someone is distracted by the conversation. You are great if you know how to concentrate on the game.

Music is a very nice and proper companion for the game. Music is maths and poker is maths also, so it is ideal to hear music in the session. I hear good quality artistic music!

Hi.
The style of music I choose depends on my mood. But in most cases I prefer radio.
Good luck.

It generally depends on the person... but... some basic tips

Music without lyrics will usually be better as it doesn't disrupt your thinking

Classic Music is an option --> Search Classical Study Music on Youtube
House/Trance Music is an option --> Search Best House Instrumental on Youtube
Meditative/Zen Music is an option --> Search Meditative Mind on Youtube

I prefer House/Soft House/Deep House at the start of a session to amp me up
& Then I like the meditative styles at the end when I am cooling down from play

That said, if I am playing A TON of tables I usually do no music at all so I can give my full attention. This is also sometimes the case when just one tabling if it's very high stakes poker.

Ultimately it is a personal preference, but I hope those suggestions will help you experiment and find out which is the best option for you!

Cheers! :eek:

I think that its depends of the person. Some people listen music when they are playing because they say that the music is for relax. Other people like the silence. I like listen some music when I am playing mlti table :)

No music at all. It would be a distraction for me.

I think it is right to choose the music that suits your mood. The advice of other players is not appropriate here. Only you can choose the music that will help your concentration.

I can remember a time or two at Foxwoods the music was 60s to early 70s which brought me back to my high school years. I even danced and swayed in my chair with it as my accompaniment.

Here at home when playing online I'll often find a playlist on YouTube to keep me company and offer me support while I play. My two favorites for this are: the melodic sounds of The Seekers who I've loved since my youth, and the young Quebe Sisters who sing beautifully while playing classic country songs on their violins. I dance in my chair here at home too. :)

I personally like to listen to music when I play, the music is different depending on the mood, everyone himself finds something that does not distract from the game

Well ... I do not have problems of concentration if I listen to music when I play poker .... of course it is as long as the type of music is not rock ... but listening to bachatas or romantic music if it relaxes me a lot ...!

MUSIC AND POKER TABLE

I myself believe that playing poker requires full attention and concentration, you can not be all goosy and expected to win, you should be fully alert especially at live tables. however, if you get bored a lot maybe some classical music wich the beats of the song are so slow would be recommended thus you get not distracted by that maybe Beethoven or Mozart or bach

I enjoy listening to music with no lyrics so I can focus clearly the most. My favorite genre of music to listen to would be trance because of the beat which makes it easier for me to grind long hours of play.
