Get out of that dumb ipod habit now. People will sit there and tell you all about how they play, but you'll miss it when you're ipod-ing.

I use my ipod when I play and I really feel it helps me. I put the volume low enough so that I can hear the music AND still hear the dealer and the players talk. You'd be surprised what people will say about you when they think you can't hear. I've heard people talk about repopping my next button raise over a bunch of limpers, tell their neighbor their hands after I made a big laydown, etc. And I can ignore people that want to ask me what my hand was by pretending I can't hear them.

My Hero, that is utterly awesome, because live can be a grind but if the music is low enough that u can be entertained while listening to table chat, and the control u have if someone talks about making a move or discussing something they think ur not hearing could be +ev.

i'm going to try that next time live.
