Depends on my mood but 99% of the time it is meditation music. The other 1%..... Techno is being blasted. Needless to say but I play better when not playing the Techno. LOL

I like it when it's quiet and no one bothers. It is very important for me to feel the rhythm of the games in order to be aware of the opponent's intentions. If this is not the case, then the result is negative. It's worth a little distraction, the game breaks down and I quickly fly out of the tournament. That's why silence is important to me. Unfortunately, this rarely happens.

Multi tasking..

It depends on the availability of a mobile device :) .. obviously a pc doesn’t give you the mobility or freedom that a mobile device does… so, considering having technology to enhance your daily affair’s- you can do what ever else you really want ;)

I like to listen to music on TV along with poker:D



I'm a huge fan of silence....or classical music. I don't care what stake you are at if you are playing with any type of distraction you are not playing to the best of your ability. I don't even like the lighting to be intense in the room I'm in. I want to be as relaxed as possible.


I have never lost more money than when my mind is not 100% focused on what I am doing.

Good afternoon.I don´t want anything that could distract me from the game.That is why, I avoid listenng music or watching tv .Only if there was an important soccer match like a UCL game, I would make an exception.

I know its a bad habit to get into but I'll have a movie or some sporting event on if I'm playing when sports are going on. Sometimes I'll listen to podcasts on youtube or music. These are all bad habits but I only play for fun and to relax so I tend to multitask while playing.

Twitch streamers in background. Good way to have that vaguely poker-centric chatter around you...

That's the bad thing about doing something else while playing poker, while playing poker you have to play poker.
But as usual, it's so simple only in words, in fact, while playing poker, everyone is climbing into phones, watching TV, talking to someone, and they are not talking about poker, some still manage to play another non-poker game.

I like to listen to calm music, drink tea and sometimes turn on the stream of other players

Most of the time I'm watching TV or surfing on the internet. If you play only one tournament, it is possible. But if you play a lot of tables, then you have to concentrate and it is not possible to share attention.

I'm kind of all over the place depending on the game. Sometimes music, often times TV or sports, scroll my phone or candy crush. I can't even think why some times I need the distraction but I do. I would really suck in real life poker hahaha!
