When I'm playing poker I like to be concentrated and keep.me.mind in the game... Background music might distract me and stop me from seeing moviments that might matter later on
Some not only listen to music, I know one player who won $ 2000 in a tournament and jumped on the table and started dancing to the music until we calmed him down.
I like to play poker in silence because that way I can focus better on the game. It happens to me that the radio stays on, which of course has rock music on it. Sometimes music bothers me, but if I concentrate well on the game, I don't even hear it.
Most often I listen to music while playing, everything. If I really liked some kind of music, then I put it on repeat until I get bored. I don’t know about everyone else, but when the music is playing, I’m not so offended when my hands move. Music inspires and calms at the same time).
