Are you listening to music while playing poker?

[malakata19]

Always I am listening music, but when the tournament is going deep the music dissapear ,,,,

 

[Hackerosito]

Yeah

I always listen to music while I play, I like to stay focused, I have already predetermined my list for my poker sessions, I even begin to believe that certain genres give me more luck than others. :top:

 

[dear7]

No, I am watching youtube.

 

[blommen]

I always listen to music while i play i cant handle the beeping noises of the poker tables. i mostly listen to Hip hop or electronic music that really gets me in the mood.

 

[Crazymoney16]

Music is not. I prefer to watch TV series, although it's not very professional.

 

[clasrasmusso]

I often watch sports on TV while I play, but it's best when I just concentrate on the poker.​

 

[natasha555]

I do not listen to music, but in social networks I read news and forums.

 

[CylleP]

of course) without music you can go crazy

 

[MrPokerVerse]

Normally listening too Pandora with southern rock, classic and country artists.

 

[ledsmith]

Not always, but sometimes I listen to music while playing. Music does not bother me at all, but I just do not always want to listen to it. From music, too, you get tired.

 

[XYZ2123]

If I'm playing a single table cash game then I don't mind having music on, but if multi-tabling or playing a tournament, music is more of a distraction and takes my attention away from the game.

It's probably more accurate to say that music can help me focus for a period of time -- maybe about an hour -- but after a while it becomes a distraction. You should always adjust to how you feel at the time.

 

[Leomil]

Yes, I do! But when Im playing a big tournament, I usually prefer the poker sounds, because I need to concentrate really hard in the game

 

[parks124]

No. I find music too distracting, but I will stream a video.

 

[gabpoker]

I listen to music when playing online as there isn't anything to miss that is going on at the table. I don't listen to music when I play live as I want as mush information as possible and I might miss something.

 

[FreeDom1998]

If I want to listen to music, when I play ... it's only calming (classics) : )

 

[Eric Salvador]

Music can do one of two things when I'm playing, so it depends. If I'm having trouble focusing that day music will cause me to daydream and become distracted. If I'm clicking on all cylinders than it almost serves as a theme song motivating me to keep my wits sharp

 

[nonames45]

and I like to play with music more, it as that weakens, you are nervous less

 

[Empress]

When I'm at live tables (like at a casino), I like to listen to a Pandora station I created of classical music generated from the artist Phillip Glass. When I'm at home playing online poker, I have the TV on in the background.

 

[Slmmccartney]

To be quite honest most of the time I do not

 

[deeggr]

Music I listen to or watch a movie The sounds of poker shut them down

 

[guccipix]

If I'm playing live, rarely. I find talking and listening way more satisfying. But I might put some music on if I'm playing online. Usually lo-fi stuff or experimental stuff. Anything without lyrics basically. Those are too distracting.

 

[georgi krastev]

Are you listening to music or do you prefer to hear just the poker sounds while you are playing online? :thrasher:

I love music! I noticed that when I play poker and listen to music, my game is good LOL! Only if i'm serious about the game of course! Even now I listen to music.:rock:

 

[cubons]

Yes, usually I listen something what gives me a good vibe - so I can feel comfortable when I play poker.
Sometimes I also watch some youtube videos or maybe my favourite streamers on twitch platform. That kinda helps me to get my attention away from bad starting hands.

 

[Grearix]

Thanks guys for your many replies :top:
