I was wondering how many people listen to music while they are playing poker? I recently started playing alot of hold'em online and I've been finding its easier not to be distracted if I'm listening to some music.Also do you think there is a difference between listening to music while playing online as opposed to in person. I don't think it would help my game as much in person then it does online.Thanks for listening.Chris

At my games we listen to music. Everything from Jay-Z to Linkin Park and i have a friend who listens to Ashley Simpson ( No he is not gay ) but he can only listen to her with his headphones on. I believe listening to music kind of amps me up and makes me play smarter.

I guess this is all unnecessary rambling because Hollywood personifies something I hate about most people. He can take valuable knowledge, stare it right in the fucking face and never let a single sentence absorb into his brain.

Does anyone else find it odd that the OP made this one and only post and has never returned? Maybe he didn't like the two responses he got.

It would be extremely funny if he posted here again in this thread.

I listen to music about half the time when playing live or online. I use my 30gb Ipod video with Bose Quietcomfort2 Noise Cancelling Headphones.

I'm listening to music right now. I'm real old school and I always am listening to my walk man at all times when I'm on the computer which includes when I play poker.

I know I'm playing very well and am very concentrated when I don't hear the music. I know it sounds weird but when i'm in the "zone" I don't even notice that theres music playing.
