I think the music can cool you down after having a bad beat.
I usually listen the MTV top which i recorded every week.

When it gets to the bubble i put on Under Pressure gets me in the right mood.

I always listen to music when I'm playing poker but i do it for the exact opposite reason. Sometimes when im sitting at my computer i get bored and start making reckless moves. But when i listen to music i get into that so I dont feel the need to play bad hands. Ever since I've started listening to music while playing poker I've done much better.

I agree, listening to music makes those long poker events less boring especially if you love music as much as you love poker like I do.

I'm too lazy to throw in a CD to listen to some tunes. BUT that may make my play better 'cause I can fully concentrate on some player patterns. I really lean into the screen when the cards are shown and I try and think of how the betting went. Like was the guy bluffing, slow playing, betting strong on draw cards, betting in LP to narrow the field or steal the pot, etc.

I found something else to listen to during poker. Baseball and Basketball games. NOT nba though, but college baketball instead. I've started to get better at watching tv and playing without losing my thoughts of poker. It really is helping me from becoming restless and bored.

I believe I made a post about how I almost always listen to music and said that it helps my game. Well, I'llk take that back. I've been experiencing trying no music no T.V. just pure silence. And guess what my earnings have been higher than ever before. I think it helps me that I concentrate more on the game and less on music. From now on I wont be listening to music as I play.

I usually tune into Chronix Aggression (online radio station) and listen to whatever comes on there while I am playing...Usually its anything from Pantera to Killswitch Engage to even sometimes funky stupid crap like Deicide...which I cant stand because its Satanic BS...

I like listening to music while playing. I think smoother music like Bossa Nova and Smooth Jazz really takes the edge off for me.
