Music to Win By

[tilter]

Okay, this sort of has to do with poker, and sort of doesn't, so I posted it here instead of on the poker chat board. Does anyone have any favorite music to play when getting a game going with friends? Obviously I guess the Big & Rich song is popular with the poker crowd these days, but my husband and I are big Guns & Roses fans, so we usually have their greatests hits on the cd player during our weekly games. Other than that I like country, but I usually get out voted.

On that same note, does anyone really know what Ivey listens to during the big tournaments? He's almost always wearing headphones when I see him playing, just wondering if he does that to actually listen to music or to drown other people out?

I would probably listen to Gwen Stefani's solo cd. I like the song Rich Girl which would suit poker.

I have a pretty eclectic music list, which oddly enough seems to work,,I figure adifferent song puts you in a different mood,, and it's easy to switch up your game

last weekend while we were playing, it was heads up, and i had 45 000 chips, he had about 3 000... so was clearly gonna win the game. the radio was on and they were playing the song " this is the end...." that became my new song for heads up poker. other than that, any floyd / or stoner music is good to play poker with, it should only be there in the air as a background noise so it doesnt throw you off your game!

I tend to listen to chilled out R&B, somnething like John Legend it tends to stop me going on tilt. I have listned to some harder stuff but tend to make stupid decisions.

Not sure bout what Phil Ivey listens to when he's playing but when he was in Bluff mag his cd collection was quite varied.

Im a good old Jambander. Anything by the Grateful Dead or Dave Matthews or MOE. or String Cheese Incident gets my mojo rising!!

There are tons of Grateful Dead songs with gambling references......

From Truckin: Sometimes the cards aint worth a dime if you dont lay'em down

From The Deal: Watch each card you play,,,, play it slow... Wait till that Deal goes down

Dire Wolf. I cut my deck to the Queen of Spades but the cards were all the same.

Stagger Lee. Billy DeLyon threw lucky Dice... won Stagger Lee's Stetson Hat..

And of Course Dave Matthews the Angel Has killer lyrics... You call my bluff etc etc
