What kind of music do you usually listen to when playing poker? I usually listen to Jazz Blue late at night, during a long tour.
This is the playlist I often listen to, do you want to listen to it?

I really like listening to epic instrumental music. Usually OST of medieval epic films and some animes.

Listening to music while I'm playing definitely helps me stay focused.

The musical style depends on my mood, but in general I'd prefer to listen instrumental music, without any vocals.

Everything depends on my mood. Sometimes music is really good at keeping you focused, and sometimes you just want some silence. There are different days. I usually choose music from my favorite YouTube channels, but most of the time it's all relaxation and relaxation music, something like Space Scenes Deep Relaxation.

Yes, without a doubt, music helps many people to concentrate and gather themselves while playing poker, but for some, including me, it distracts, although it's all a matter of habit.

I listen to minimal or progressive depending on condition.
If i am in a good state - save that state - minimal.
If i am a bit out of it - progressive.

Yes, it helps me a lot to get through the entire day. Especially when it's a long session.

I don't listen to music at all, I think it prevents my thoughts from thinking correctly and concentrating on the game, but music helps in sports and I listen when I train gives me the strength and emotion I need in poker I love silence when I play poker tournaments and silence without music helps me a lot so poker is better to play without music

I used to always play poker and listen to music at the same time (mostly One Republic and Muse songs). But when the war in Ukraine started, I play without music to hear the sound of the air alarm when russia starts attacking my city with rockets. :(

I like this style, especially because there aren't many tribulations in the rhythm and it keeps my heart beating normally.

The ideal is to always create a healthy atmosphere, so include music and the TV program.

Of course, you should always remember to stay focused, if something gets in the way, remove it.

I don't like listening to music with lyrics when I play, I used to find the words distracting when I had big decisions to make, Especially with a timer. Now I have quiet background music without lyrics, Works better for me.

If you look at poker streamers, most of them listen to music while playing. It depends on the person how he can concentrate while listening to music.
This is also true for studying, for example, I could never study with music, but poker is different, I think you can do a lot other things while playing.

Studies have shown that music can only relieve, but not help in any way (Although I ignore this and continue to play with music):D

I tend to favor more upbeat, empowering music when playing poker. Songs with driving beats, motivational lyrics, or a triumphant sound really get me in a focused, competitive headspace during key hands. I want to feel like a warrior heading to battle at the felt, not drift off to sleep:cool:

Ofcourse ,also a Netflix movie or YouTube video or a stream on twitch . Playing only poker for hours is not fun without doing sth else at the same time . Ofcourse when it's close to a FT or big money , then i wull focus only on poker . But if it's early on a tourney or if it's very cheap tourney, then focusing only on the poker is not worthy or good .

Yub! A movie or a TV show can help us relax more than focusing on poker at the beginning of the tour.
