Music and poker

[rkiray]

This may sound weird but I think one advantage to playing poker on the internet instead of in B&M cardrooms is that I can listen to whatever music I want. Right now I have B.B. King smokin' on the stero. The cardroom I play most frequently is The Lodge in Blackhawk CO, which is a really nice cardroom with bad music. They have quiet music pumped in over speakers. They used to have really horrible live bands playing that were way too loud and didn't know how to play. I'm a huge music fan, and hearing is my most important sense. I have played guitar and keyboards for years and have a CD collection with over 2000 CDs. I like Jazz, Blues, Rock, Classical, anything played with intensity and soul. I think having great music playing helps relax me and I play better poker. Does this make any sense? I also believe there has been strong correlations proven between math ability and music ability. Would this imply that musicians would make better poker players? Another question, since poker is a visual game do players whose primary sense is visual instead of aural or tactial have an advantage? Any comments are welcome.
