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

[Dentada]

I like to listen to the radio.

 

[kiso777]

Jazz music really relaxes and calms. I checked it out at the tables today. Try it, who does not believe.

 

[dorynel7]

Music distracts me rather than focuses. It works very emotionally. I turn on the TV to make some noise.

I never play music to focus, I play music so I DON'T focus too much. I play much better when I'm not paying close attention to the game. LOL Yes I know that is very weird and doesn't make good common sense... but it is true. I often notice that my deepest tournament runs come when I'm watching a sports game such as football on the television... I believe the reason is because I'm not getting bored at the poker table, so I don't make stupid plays like bluffs that don't work... instead I tend to play even tighter when I'm not paying close attention, and for my game, "tight is right". Doesn't mean it is correct for other players, but for me, I have realized that distractions can actually have a positive effect on my results.

I listen to music while playing often. it helps to take my mind off the extraneous sounds from my family. music helps me.

I listen to music but not always, most of the time for me it is a distraction, in fact sometimes I am a bit superstitious and I think it gives me bad luck, but other times it is as if I had extra motivation

when playing poker, you need a sober mind and perseverance.
And playing with music you are rather more focused on the process than without it .
I would recommend the classic 70х 80х

[tomk7788]

All members

I do not listen to music but I am attentive to the game and the news or chosen programming on tv

 

[Lucky_Shark]

I use music, videos. Videos are entertaining and sometimes I learn a foreign language by video.

 

[pakyut]

I love music all the time. I am listening to music while playing poker

 

[lanelane]

I am disturbed by the music in my concentration. I don’t usually listen to music while playing

 

[zorro222_zorro222]

I usually listen to music when I play live but never when I play online for some reason.

 

[blata8ruga]

Sometimes yes and other times no.

 

[CriesuaID]

Yes, but I use it more to relax than to focus on the game.

 

[xpvictor1]

Absolutely, the right kind of music can calm the nerves and override distractions.

 

[alabos]

i always listen my music.....never the music on the site.....

 

[Mercury7]

I used to listen to music while playing online. But now it distracts me, maybe later, when I start to play better and more confidently, I'll try again.

 

[vnnby]

Music and video are the best focus and motivation.

 

[BOBMUSSI]

I like so much listen music or a twitch stream poker when I'm playing poker online! On lives always listen musics, down the volume to focus on the table!!! GL GL

 

[Fushicho]

No. It would distract me and change my mood to be wild and happy and free and bet anything.
