I'm curious... What type of music do you listen when you play poker? And for example if you play Multi Table Tournaments (MTTs) do you change it as you move through the different phases? :f_biggrin:

I don't play much MTTs but let's say.......
1) Early blind levels
2) Mid stage of tournaments
3) Buble
Enjoy.

Phil Hellmuth can dodge bullets .. I do not need to do that :

This time baby I’ll be bulletproof:

..

This hand was the example, when this song came on my mind after the river, I shipped preflop he calls :

Me: A♦ A♥
The other guy: K♣ Q♣

Flop: K♦ K♥ Q♦
Turn: Q♥
River: A♠

If your an energic outgoing person, you should listen to music while you play. If your not an outoing person, music only crush your focus. Because the outgoing persons need more income stimulanse. A person that is not outgoing needs nothing, and music will only be disturbing for his/hers focus;)


I listen 2 silence while playing poker even though I'm a dj and I am listening 2 music all the time. Music really distracts you from the game, makes you "autopilot" instead of thinking about your hands properly.

Lol, that's so not funny that it becomes funny if it has any sense.
I can play both ways, but i prefer with music. The only moment when i pause it is when i'm heads up (i play SnG's) because i use SAGE. And i can listen to just about everything that I ALREADY KNOW (much less distraction if you listened a song before) from rap to rock of all kinds, progressive, soft, hard, heavy metal, trash, alternative even to dance/house .

This might be the case for you however not for everyone. I have the opposite problem, if its silent my mind wanders and i play on "autopilot". I play music or sometimes just turn on the tv to have it in the background, i dont really listen to it, but helps me focus. same thing I cant go to sleep if its silent. I sleep amazingly better in cars airplanes trains, and need like a loud fan on or something for some background noise

this doesnt come from poker experience but anyway: one of the good sides of music is that let's say you make a bigger playlist of all the songs you like, naturally some of the songs you like more so imagine that you're on a bad beat and suddenly one of those fav songs starts spinning on your winamp - your mood gets better.

dont know how about you but this example helped me live through many "crisis" situations and make my opponents wonder - why the hell didnt you give up the match at that point and continue fighting?

also its important sometimes to have a song with a rythm which suits you as it can help you pick up the pace and focus on the game.


Bing Blang Blaow

No doubt about that, Bin Blang blaow is best even though I dont lsiten to Hip HOp I like this song :) I was rofling watching this video
