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.
