Do you use music in live tournaments or online to focus?

[Airles17]

music helps me concentrate !!

background music playing

 

[booosteeer23]

Mantras are very soothing and concentrate highly recommend!

 

[rictor99]

No, I find music distracting. I could never listen to it while working or studying either. I might leave the TV news on in the background if I am only playing one table. I tend to play multiple tables to keep myself from getting bored though.

 

[besplatnee]

No, I play without music, it distracts me, I understand that if there is a serious game and prize money, tea, coffee and mood.

 

[Good Man]

I think everything feels right. Sometimes I like to play in silence, concentrated. It also happens when you want to listen to your playlist, thus having an interesting game at the table.

There are times when I like to listen to music while playing but there are times when silence is better. It depends on my mood.

 

[Geksan_87]

I sit with my headphones on and listen to my favorite music, so that nothing distracts me!!!!!

 

[cwdignus]

only beats naural help me in focus and concentration

 

[Rabberto71]

I always have music playing, weirdly helps me to concentrate/focus a bit better

 

[Damnbruce]

I try to keep it quiet

In live games you better be able to handle distractions. But online I try to keep the noise down and not multi task to much.

I prefer to put all focus on the game, but because my hearing isn't 100% accurate, so I need to pay more attention on live, when we haven't text messages, lol.

I listen to good music live and online

Do you use music in live tournaments or online to focus? Or is it just distracting ?

No I don‘t use music in tournaments.

 

[neagranufan19380]

Just about every time when playing cash. A lot of people give me that "you're the jerk with the headphones, huh". I take them off for cool people, but for piece of garbage anglers trying to take your mind off of being sharp and if they want to meet up in the parking lot and discuss why that happened they're more welcome to.

Surprisingly, they never do.

I listen to music in the online tournaments on the PC, I love putting a playlist of responsibility to help me a lot in my concentration. Tom Jobim's Bossa Nova is an excellent masterpiece to focus on.

Live poker? What's that? LOL But yeah, back when we used to play live tournaments, in the good old days, I would always have my little mp3 player and earbuds to help pass the time and keep me awake while folding for two hours straight.

I asked this question when live poker was relevant. When everything goes back to normal, many people will be able to combine poker and music again.

 

[3gdata]

Psy trance and rave lately.

 

[atyagi]

personally I found music distracting. Live games, I chat with people, online I will open multiple tables

 

[RUNRRUNRTO]

I listen to music when I’m playing live. Online, I’ll multi-table and watch something on Netflix or Amazon

 

[Horace]

yes, I enjoy it in the background.

 

[el_soma77]

Yes, well, I really listen to music, although that affects the concentration of the person a bit, but I can already control it, before I didn't, now I play listening to music, and it relaxes me a lot.

 

[azforlife]

Depends how high the demand is. If i'm 1 tabling I find music helps to keep me engaged, if i'm 4-6 tabling then I need silence so I can focus fully.

Music helps keep me in a good mood (or to control my mood) during long grinds.

You'll find what you want there, promise

I second that Evan, single tabling music with very little if not any words is my go to, I've found myself making brain dead actions while playing & listening to rap

When I am at a tournament I like to listen hardcore!

In online tournaments it relaxes me a lot, and I learned ...
