我在比赛中常戴耳机，并会遵循一定的套路。在比赛开始时
我喜欢听舒缓的音乐助我适应环境。我对周边环境时刻保持警
惕，一旦需要用到听觉，会随时将音乐关掉。
比赛中我选择的音乐种类繁多，用不同的音乐来配
合我当时的玩牌风格。如果是一场持久的比赛，我有
很多筹码，并且桌上有一两位疯狂的选手，那么我
就采取等待态度，听一些悠闲的音
乐。如果桌上局势紧张，筹码开始
缩减，并且到了加大马力的时候，
那么我会听一些摇滚或现代电子乐
令自己绷紧神经。
不是每个人都会将自己的音
乐播放列表分类到我这个地步，
不过对于在扑克桌上如何以及为
何听音乐，你还是小心为妙。
任何可能改进或干扰比赛的
细节都值得注意。所有优秀
扑克选手都在试图找出最有
效的比赛风格。
I wear headphones a lot in tournaments. Forme tournaments are all
aboutroutineand I findatthestartofatournament I liketo listentorelaxing
music tohelpme acclimatize to the surroundings. I am very conscious
aboutmyplayingenvironment and I canalways turn themusicoff if I
need to listen towhat ishappening.
Ialsohaveawidevarietyofmusiconofferandpickandchoose
my tracks to suit the style of play I am adopting at any particular
time. If I amplaying a very long tournament, haveplenty of chips
and thereareacoupleofcrazyplayersonmy table then Iamplaying
awaitinggameand listen to some chilledout tunes. If, on theother
hand, things are starting to tighten up on the table, I am

fast techno toget thebloodpumping.
Not everyone is going to dissect their playlists to

whyyou listen tomusicatapoker table.Anything that
improvesor detracts fromyour game is relevant and
all goodpoker players are trying toget thebest out

在耳机热之前，扑克赛中的太阳镜是
一个热门话题。有段时间扑克赛中几乎一半选
手都佩戴太阳镜。职业选手丹尼尔
·内格里诺
（
Daniel Negreanu）认为该举动给了选手不
公平的优势。我认为每个人偏好不同，如果他
认为这是优势，不妨也戴上一副。

“隐形炸弹人”菲尔·拉克
（Phil Laak）
是第一位用连帽衫作为武器的选手。连帽衫就是
带有帽子的上衣，可以遮住脑袋。选手们将这个
概念延伸，开始在其他选手试图阅读他时遮住
自己整张脸。我希望扑克赛可以制定一些着装
要求，但恐怕赞同的人寥寥无几。如果你想像
菲
尔·拉克一样
藏起自己的脸，也不要顾虑，尽管
这样的装扮的确令他们看起来像低能儿。

按摩出现在扑克赛场已成为惯例。按
摩师们自然皆大欢喜。个人而言，我在按
摩时希望可以完全放松，但每个人喜好不
同。只有在桌边空间有限时我才会抱怨。
我可不想为了某位大块头想要舒展筋骨而
委屈自己！
ൊğ
这点一直颇有争议。很多扑克室都有
（至少过去有过）无食物政策。不过现在越来
越少见。很多人在扑克桌边打持久战，吃饭
就在所难免。我喜欢离开扑克桌半小时解决吃
饭问题，不过这也纯属个人偏好。只要选手不
将炒饭洒在桌上，不将汉堡的油渍留在牌上，
或减缓比赛速度，那么也未尝不可。
SUNGLASSES:

HOODIES:
TheUnabomber Phil Laakwas the rst person tomakea

ahoodie isa jumperwithahood that cancover yourhead. Players then

their faces thenbestof luck to them, even if itdoesmake them look like
a total imbecile.
MASSAGES:
Masseusesplying their tradeatmajorpoker tournaments
