I will start by saying that I'm ADHD and staying focused on the game is my biggest leak.
I have two laptops in front of me, TV on, cellphone here too, and always something in my hands that I'm tinkering on.
I have found that by putting the TV to dark screen guitar music that I can turn all of that other stuff off and focus on the poker game.
The soft guitar music calms down all of those rubber balls bouncing around in my brain so that I can focus on the task at hand.

If so, what?
It depends on your mood. In most cases, music is good for concentration, but sometimes there are also days when silence is more desirable than music.

I have 6000 vinyl albums, but I never ever listen to music while playing poker.

I listen to lots of different types of music while playing. I find the release of endorphins is good for my game.
Takes me awhile to listen to the same stuff twice - - I have over 42,000 cassette tapes & 32 CD's in my collection.

No. Music distracts me from the game.

The last time I used a cassette was as a child like 30 years ago 🤣 gave away all my CDs like 5 years ago too and since then YouTube/spotify only.

Yeah music poker is an amazing combination, especially if u are planning to play a bit longer.


Synthwave mixes like this give me the absolute chill 😉

I don’t listen to music at all really. I have the tv on in the background. I do however concentrate more on my game if I am currently playing.

I always turn my TV to the Music Channel and enjoy classic rock in the background.

I like listening to rock while I'm playing poker, it makes me feel more relaxed to think about the hands I'm playing.

I usually play poker with a show, but when I'm in a good mood, unfortunately, this is rare over the past 3 years, I turn on a deep house with poker, or some favorite tracks from a past life when I heard explosions and machine gun bursts only on TV

I like to listen to Mexican ranch music, I think I play better with that music.

In most cases, I listen to music while playing. Music helps me keep my concentration. Most often, I prefer my favourite music channels on YouTube. Here's one of my favourites.
