I love listening to music while playing but I don't like listening through headphones during a live game as I don't want to miss things players say. I like it on in the background if I'm playing live at a pub (our league plays in a pub).

I do not hear anything, I'm playing on the phone, or I play or I listen to music

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

I prefer to play without music, it will distract from the game

During the game I listen mostly light melodic music, preferably without words. Fast and hard music is distracting. But at crucial moments I turn off the music and concentrate only on the game. Without music, boring, especially at the beginning of MTT.

I play in silence because music influences my playing style. Dynamic music causes an aggressive game and quiet music releases passive playing.

I listen to music when playing freerolls or micro MTT. But I play in big tournament I concentrating on the game.

Not always, but when I do, it's something like trance or some other form of EDM. I feel like it keeps me in the zone. I've almost got a Pavlovian response to Armin's 2017 Year in Review :)

I love listening to music when I play. I will also play different genres depending on what stage of the tourney I am in. In a bounty tournament I will play a song like hit the road jack or another one bites the dust! Good luck![emoji812]️

When I listen, mostly classic jazz or old times acoustic blues. Lower than the game sounds volume.

Best of Luck.

no I never listen to music playing, I think it will disturb me and I could not concentrate as it should, maybe I'm wrong, but I'll try one day

in the mood, like when, sometimes I listen to music or watch TV, sometimes I play in complete silence, on different days in different ways.

I like to listen to music or have the tv on for the background noise. I normally mute the computer, it tends to get irritating after a while the same noises over and over. would you agree?

Absolutely. The music calms me and keeps me focused and on track, especially after a bad beat, the music can help control my tilt.

Yes, and the general preference is for a light and easy sound. Not too active or distracting. I prefer a relaxing ambient, lounge or chill house playlist when grinding online.

I listen to music while playing. Just not loud. I guess that's how I stay focused and if I lose a hand that I miss played I am over it.

I like to listen to music while I play, it makes me feel awake if I'm tired.

I don't listen to music while playing, because the last time I did I had the God of War soundtrack on and played somewhat more aggressive than normal losing 15% of my br.
