do you listen to commentary or not?

Mostly no for the simple reason that I feel it can alter what I may do in the market especially when I was first starting out. Example Radwanska V Wozniacki the commentators just kept going on about A Rad's shoulder problem and the fact she looked weary and was just a few points away from seemingly capitulating yet she won 6-4,6-3!

I don't take much notice when an events under way but pre off it's a must for what I do. You just need to decide who's worth listening to and who isn't, but information is generally key to where things will move so it's best to get what the masses are getting and preferably before them.

Depends who is commentating! If it's people who have actually played the game, I like to listen to them for no other reason than it makes it less boring. I find it helps my concentration and I find some of what is said very interesting.

However, if it's those comms on certain online streams who clearly have only watched about 2 matches in their entire life, I prefer to mute.

Like Mark says, you have to be careful, as it's easy to be swayed by what they are saying. Used to happen to me all the time and more often that not, it would get me in trouble.

Listening of commentary (if possible) is very important.

I have at least 3 situtations in my career where commentator told about trainer awaiting next to court for the end of the game, what was not possible to noticed in video stream.
