What do you listen to while playing Poker?

I'm skipping this. I don't have the rock band set and I'm not dishing out the money for one now.

Fair enough, but it is an excuse to get the COOLEST INSTRUMENTS EVER MADE for any version of the game you want.

Eff yeah.

i usually listen to music and if the red sox are on i watch the game while im playing poker, i get pretty distracted when i do that though but with my ipod the music gives me a nice calm feeling and sometimes it gives me a rush lol

Was listening to Metallica - Master of Puppets earlier during Midnight Madness, but that didn't work out so well. So now, it's Radiohead - In Rainbows during my nightly 4x table cash games. It has been working out well.

I listen to rap, hip/hop and R&B. I am pretty mainstream in USA. I do like a lot of underground rap as well.

I also listen to my son playing all the time and asking me questions, shows that i put on television, my girl talking to me, my phone ringing when I get calls or text messages, etc... lol... I pretty much multitask all the time when I play poker...

As far as what i listen to when i play poker, its definately classical music. Usually some string quartet or something, none of them fat man bellowing in front of an orchestra crap. LOL. But seriously, I find that listening to classical music when i play makes me more patient, and thoughful of my actions. Breaks seem to come much faster, and being card dead, is just a bump in the road. When you listen to pieces of music that are 20-30 60 minutes long its a lot easier to maintain focus. If its not classical then its one fo the following; Rage against the machin, RHCP, Beatles, Zepplin, or some brother ali or immortal technique (talk about underground). But if youre playing a long tournement, stick with long classical pieces of music, i promise you your play will improve.
