Does music help you focus and play better poker?

[Bawse]

Music doesn't always help me get in my zone, but I often find when I listen to music while I play, usually I play better.

Thoughts? Does listening to music while you play help your game?

I don't listen to music while playing poker. I prefer to talk and listen to poker players jab and silly jokes. Music is a full time distraction to me while playing poker.

I like to listen to music when I am playing poker and it helps me to relax and get in the proper mood in place. But still, I enjoy instrumental music, not hiphop, which could affect me while playing because I'll be grooving and lose concentration.
