favourite music while playing poker

Postby madali » Wed Feb 24, 2010 11:55 pm

Just for my own interest what does everyone like to listen to while playing poker. I have an weird mix that I listen to which helps me focus and wondered if others do the same. I only do this online although I have started borrowing my sons i phone in venue occasionally and have found this helps me focus more and control my nerves .

My list at the moment is
Anything Anything Dramarama
Stay Jackson Brown
Man who sold the world Nirvana cover
Shout out the donkey remix Showtek
Jumping all over the world Scooter
Forever young Youth group
Pretty rave girl I am xray
No woman no cry Bob Marley
FTS showtek
Wish you were here Pink Floyd rhyme of the ancient mariner
and finally Pink get the party started.

Would love to hear what every one else listens to.

Hmmmm

Rage Against the machine - lot of their songs.
Pink - few of her songs
Incubus - few of theirs.
DaCav5 - Tetris.


Saving Grace - Pete Murray
Icecream - Muscels
Waiting for the world to change - John Mayer
On Call - Kings of Leon

Usually mix it up with some fast songs and some slow songs, to keep me motivated and also to get me pumped if i do have to change gears. Also helps if i can sing along to it and keep my attention.

So do I but one of my downfalls at the table is that I talk too much if I am comfortable and give away huge tells. And when I dont know anyone or am getting very nervous I tend to loose all confidence and play really passive and bad cards. I have tried the music a couple of times live and it did help me focus and gain control. I always try to have music when I play online though and anyone who has sat at my table will tell you I tend to chat a lot online. I just thought it would be interesting to hear what, if anything, other players listen to while playing.

Yeah i always have music going when im playing online, helps the concentration heaps. But i don't really get people who bring an ipod to a 3 hour pub game, if you can't conentrate for that long you have issues, and the whole reason i go to my 3 hour pub game is to talk to people.

Wear an ipod for the 14 hour slog of a grand final by all means, but dont at a pub game i say

(krunchie will have a comeback here i know it, but meh - he knows how i feel about his ipod :) )

I listen to a variety, but usually the same style at one time.

Sometimes old jazz, or blues
Other times all hard metal.
