Play listening to music or not?

[Mediego]

When they are in session do they listen to music or not and what kind of music

 

[BLMonteiro]

Yes, Sometimes... And listen regueton

 

[valen.bs.95]

I play mostly in silence, or just listen to relaxing music without words.

 

[MK_]

I generally have music on, classic rock, rap, pop... anything but country, just whatever I wanna hear at the time

I really like listening to music while playing poker, even though it can prevent you from concentrating sometimes when you listen for too long. To minimize the distraction I like to choose songs that I have already listened to many times. That way I only "have to" listen when it is convenient for me, like when I folded a hand or when a tourney is on break.
Genre-wise my preference would go into the hip-hop or pop direction, in the later hours of the night deep-house, pop or R&B work fine for me.

In a long tournament it can work miracles if you can take the edge off the stress by listening to a track you enjoy. Even if it is just for a few seconds, it lowers your adrenaline level and lets you cool down a little bit. Can probably help you maintain your focus in the long run, which is supposed to be crucial for success in poker - at least from what I've heard.

 

[cwdignus]

sometimes I experiment with binaural beats that help with focus and concentration

 

[888NOX888]

I prefer to play in silence. Sometimes when I play at the same table, I can turn on some movie.

 

[wavetune]

always in session with music, whether it's on a PC or on a phone

 

[pankoffff]

Sometimes I listen to podcasts, sometimes music, and if there's 1-2 tables left, I watch videos on YouTube.

 

[Stringy]

sometimes i'll listen or even watch something

 

[pansipos]

In silence for me..

 

[takinitSLEAZEE]

Yes. The Crystal Method has some good listening jams. "High Roller" is one of my favorites. It's subliminally encouraging.

I don't like to listen to music when playing live games, I prefer to get involved in a conversation with other players in between hands, but at one Casino I was playing against a player who had earphones on connected to a tablet, when I asked him what music he was listening to, he showed me a poker game he was playing and said "It's not music, I am playing on-line".
I immediately thought Boy this guy has a problem.

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

Yes, everyone can play doing whatever they want as long as they don't bother the rival. A couple of years ago I was convinced that when I listened to the Gabriel and Dresden album Remedy it brought me luck hahaha. I can only believe in myself and in my game

 

[Gallarado777]

can you listen to music or not that's up to you, the main thing is not to disturb other players and all you need if you play better to the music then listen to it as much as you like I play without music because I think every move I'm going to do because of the music I can't think

 

[fernandofcp]

I prefer not to listen to music. Any sound other than the game in progress breaks my concentration. By the way, I like the silence to concentrate.

 

[pavel1111111]

yes , most of the time I play poker I liten to music

 

[hamon08]

When they are in session do they listen to music or not and what kind of music

It may sound a little strange, but I listen to rock and rap while playing poker. And it doesn't make my game worse, on the contrary, I'm always cheerful and motivated to play and win.

 

[78mariusz]

it's depend, when it is boring and monotonous I listen to music of any kind, when I play the late phase of the tournament I prefer to concentrate on the game without music

 

[M13A13]

Play online, you can do anything, eat, drink alcohol, have sex, talk on the phone, smoke, and if your laptop is waterproof, you can even play in the pool

 

[Fernando_RO]

Generally when I play tournaments that usually last several hours, when I'm too overwhelmed, I tend to listen to a little music, in general it can be reggaeton or a little bit of rock.

 

[lauestla]

When they are in session do they listen to music or not and what kind of music

Wel, it depends on my mood. Sometimes when playing Sit and Go I like to listen to music. But if I reach the final table of a MTT I prefer the silence because I need to concentrate more on the game

 

[demibar]

Lately not it's about concentrating or my mood.

 

[theStarfish]

Depends on my mood and the tournaments - sometimes I listen to music, sometimes I don´t

 

[juan1579]

without a doubt I always play listening to music, that relaxes you and you play much better
