I didn't notice that listening music influences my play in any way... I do listen music while playing. Different stuff. Henry Manchini, Tom Waits, Yann Tiersen, Boris Kovach, Ennio Morricone... As you can see, nothing loud or energetic. More like background music...

I listen to electro, d&b, rock, hiphop,... The kind of music i play doesn't influence my play, but i do need music. It keeps me relaxed and focussed. I'm pretty sure music doubles my sessiontime!

I truly don't listen music when I play poker but I have a small television in same room where I play. When there comes an interesting thing in television, I watch the program (if I have time - max. 2 poker tables open). Usually I choose tv channel where comes easy listening: music or sport.

Is there even other music genres than country and rockabilly ?? That trance crap really get on my nerves , its so easy to make such a "song" nowadays ... just download some e-jay program and mix it up.
Thank god theres real music played on real instruments out there ... if i hear "umbrella" one more time on the local pub im going to puke.
Everyone have their own music taste and im sure alot of you hate country too
