How many times have you seen a poker pro experience a bad beat and immediately place the earphones of their MP3 or IPod Player on? Dozens, hundreds, maybe even more? If you think they are listening to AC DC, Big & Rich, Lynard Skynard, or the Steve Miller Band, you would be wrong. They are listening to psychologically congruent music that has been proven at a leading University to improve their concentration & poker game. This is probably the one secret that the pros hope amateurs players don't discover. They would much rather you listen to the popular music of today, that has been proven to have and adverse effect on your concentration and your poker game. Listen, I understand that this sounds to good to be true, put I accidentally got my hands on a track of this music when I stumble on a website called OnlinePokerU.com. I assume the U. stands for University. I can not begin to express the difference listening to this music has made on my game, both offline and online. What kind of music is it? It is indescribable. It is like a combination of house & chamber music; you may still be able to hear a sample at http://www.OnlinePokerU.com. Anyway, pay attention to this. I predict that in the future you will see more and more research and information on this subject, even though the pros are trying to keep this secret for their self. Whatever you do, don't play the popular music of today when playing Texas Holdem or any Poker game online or off line. Avoid this temptation. No matter what you feel, this music is not helping your game. |
