blonde poker forum

You guy's that have ipod and play poker, do you mind telling me what stuff you like to listen to while playing poker.

I'm abit of a softy when it comes to poker music.. Don't laugh Paul Young and other peaceful stuff. Just wondered if it affects the game mood.

might try playing poker while Bush blast out afew tunes.

So what you got blasting in your ears?

Theme to Indiana jones

ACDC

LED Zepplin

the Who

Chesney Hawks ' the one and only' lol

Before I play, I like to have a listen to 'You're The Best Around' (Theme from Karate Kid I) just to give me a confidence boost.

Who's that doggy in the window

house music all night long

Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out - lol

there is now a cd out called" music to play poker to "  yea right they are takeing it too far now

i like the games ' errrr what was that a reraise? er how much ?.....errr my turn is it....sorry listening to my ipod',

Lightning Seeds - just 2 tracks.

The Cure - 3 tracks.

Scissor Sistors - 1 track.

Eminem - 7 tracks.

Dire Straits - 4 tracks.

Aerosmith - 5 tracks.

The Red Hot Chillis - 2 tracks.

Johnny Cash -  3 tracks.

ELO - 3 tracks.

Robbie - 4 tracks.

Rinse, repeat, ad infinitum.

But if I had to listen to Morrisey, I'd  rather take up gardening.

Love the CURE. reminder to add to my tracks....Cheers.

I also listen to the stones, Dido, Clapton.

Do any of you think it changes your mood for the game?

Oddly enough, YES. Especially Mr Blue Sky (ELO), & "Rocket to the Moon".

Gonna take a rocket to the moon,

Be leaving any day soon,

And my tears will fall as rain,

On your window pane......

Oh oh oh oh oh.

Good job there aint gonna be Karoake at the blonde bash.

Eminem? say it isn't so

Give him a chance Red, & listen carefully to the lyrics. He's undoubtedly a nasty piece of work, but hugely talented as a lyricist. Hugely talented.

I wouldn't say he's a nasty piece of work either. You don't even know him.

 ;tk;   

Turn it in! your giving me curly ears       ;tracet;lmao

No, I don't know him, so maybe he's a nice guy, but I don't think so, his lyrics suggest otherwise. Some of the things he writes, particularly about his Mother, are too awful, but he writes them in an extraordinary way. Someone who writes about their Mother in such terms is a nasty piece of work in my book.

I don't think Lennon was  a nice guy, & I never knew him, either.

But those two guys could write better than almost any other songwriter of their era.

So I don't wanna befriend either of 'em, but I'd listen to their lyrics night & day.

There was no need to say "hes a nasty piece of work" just because Red questioned your taste in music.

Just as a debating point, on the premise that you have to have a good reason to say something before you can say it, what need does Eminen have to say the things he says?

Why not? It seemed relevant to me. I like his music. I don't think he's a nice man. I buy his albums. I don't buy him. I play his stuff non-stop. I'd not welcome his company. Mr Mathers is not the sort of man you can sit on the fence about. Love him or loathe him. I loathe him, but love his music.

I see nothing wrong with that view. If I don't express it, I'll still think it.

It's not really anything to do with Red questioning my music tastes, it's simply a comment.

Because, say, Paul Gascoigne was an absolutely awesome footballer does not mean I have to think he's a nice man. I lved his football talent, & loathed his off-field antics.

Alex Higgins, The Whirlwind, ditto ditto.

You don't like the whirlwind? Say it isn't so....

The Whirlwind. Off the table? No, I don't. And I DO know him, though not well, but well enough. I played him when he was still a school-kid - corrrection, when he was still school kid age - he was never a school kid as such, because he bunked off every day. But an extraordinary talent ON the table.

He can cope without my admiration off-table.

And he gave me a 7 black start - that's 49 points - & beat me 123-54. Of the 5 points I scored, 4 came from an in-off by him, & I fluked the only red I potted.

Mr Bluesky, a classic (especially as it's about BCFC :) )
Eminem is a true modern day genius, though he has retired now.............

I beat him 2/1 off 50

Wow - now that IS impressive.

 ;applause; ;applause;

do you actually listen to music when playing or just before hand?  I would be worried I'd miss a call or something

Nice going Red btw :)

I wont name names (a certain blondette) in the bpool festival just gone i sat listening to a players i pod and the amount of cheese on there was shocking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o  see i thought you poker players were supposed to be macho but this guy had little mermaid songs on his and tryed blagging me that they wernt his but his sisters songs  LOL  :D :D

Howard Plant?

Name names woman!!

does this mean he gave you a 50 point start? sorry to be thick. Well done. Do you still play much Red?

yes, 50 points start. It seems a lot, but the problem is all the reds are still on the table, it's not like you have scored 50 and half the balls are down

Big Bill Werbernuick (RIP) used to play me left handed off level when he was sober and right handed off 50 after 17 pints of lager

He was unable to play right handed sober because of a tremor in his shoulder

I never play at all now because I can't play every day, without regular practice I'm usless and it annoys me

Took the nasty piece of work out of the quote, cos I don't agree with that bit, but I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with the rest.  Mr Mathers is one very talented young man.


EDIT:  Tikay if you listen to the lyrics a little more carefully, you will realise why he loathes his mother so much!

I am a rock - Simon and Garfunkel

nah wasnt howard, i cant say cos i mite annoy the person by mentioning his name and he is a little sweety so i dont wanna upset him   :)

I usually listen too:

The Doors
Super Furry Animals
Jimi Hendrix
Bob Dylan
The Libertines
Babayshambles
Oasis

And so on....

I have over 4000 songs on my iPod though so if I have it on shuffle I could be listening to anything from the theme tune to Fraggle Rock to 50 cent to Jonny Cash!

I listen to "Break 'Em All Down" by the Soledad Brothers. It's a rocky-bluesy track about poker.

I'm a gamblin' man, like to gamble yeah, got another deal, well got another dare. Can't stop gamblin', 'til I break 'em all down. Can't stop dealin' 'til I break 'em all down.
Momma she ain't home, Pappa he ain't here, break 'em all down boys, you're behind the drivin' wheel. Can't stop gamblin, 'til I break 'em all down. Can't stop dealin' 'til I break 'em all down.

Alright, let's break 'em all down boys.

"Well, one-eyed jack," said the ace of spades, "I'll steal your queen, boy and I'll lay it on your grave."
Can't stop gamblin, 'til I break 'em all down. Can't stop dealin' 'til I break 'em all down.

Break 'em all down now fellas.

Anyone want a copy, give me a shout. ;)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Quality tune that!

Dido recently

P.S. Do you have that song on repeat or are you usually knocked of the tourney out by the time it's finished?  :D

Fantastic pics Red. the kind of thing very worthy of the post a pic of yourself thread.

Eminem is great at what he does no doubt. However he only puts himself 10th of all time rappers. I dont think he's the "best" by any means. He is still an ass though.

Tikay did you say you don't like Lennon?

I prefer Jay-Z more than Eminem.

I prefer most of his top 10 more than I do him. Although I know nothing about Andre from outkast.

Outkast are very good. more Pop than Rap though, just like Eminem.

List his Top 10 please.

Cant remember it off the top of my head. I'll try finding the trck - bear with.

I got a list here’s the order of my list that it’s in.
It goes, Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie, Andre from Outcast, Jada, Kurupt,
Nas and then me. But in this industry I’m the cause of a lot of envy,
so when I’m not put on this list the **** does not offend me.

 ;tk; I thought you where an old man? Decent selection of tunes you have there..

Me? Aqua! C a l l i n g Im calling you now, calling you now, oh oh oh.

I got on my ipod
Cure, Scissor sisters, Red Hot Chillies, Franz Ferdinand, Robbie Williams x 2 albums, Faithless greatest hits, Luther vandross, Gwen Stefani, Kelly Clarkson, a fantastic rock album called Supercharged with all sorts on from Marilyn Manson to Alien Ant Farm, Eminem, Daniel Bedingfield, Evanescence, Fatboy Slim, Green Day, Kaiser Chiefs, S Club 7 (i know cheesy ) , Take That, and then Now (insert 59/60) ish and then a uplifting house album


all sorts of stuff :)

Download all your music for free at www.limewire.com
I've download around 5,000 songs from Limewire, loads of good undergreoud stuff, especially from Oasis, Radiohead, Coldplay, Jay-Z and Eminem.

Limewire > Kazaa?

eminem is very talented. hes the best white rapper around. he does disrespect his mother but is still angry at what he went through as a child. hopefully his songs help him get out the hurt. also seems to have his feet on the ground. im glad he has made it big as hes an ordinary guy that came from a hard life.

he sings about his experiences in life. i also think with dr drey as his agent/mentor, its incredible how he has not went down the road of **** this and **** your mother and my ak 49 and im a pimp and i got hoes ....etc road. 

he is good but my opinion is there is too much hype around him. i wouldnt buy his records but id download them for free........:)

well at present, im playing and listening to 'Twisted Sister' - 'I wanna Rock'!!!!

Or usually Guns n' Roses, Metallica, rage against the machine!

anything with a bit of emotion and guitar!

I love Paul Van Dyke's "For An Angel" and "Cafe Del Mar" by Energy 52 in the latter stages of a tourey.

Also anything by Faithless.

You all seem to have forgotten about Vanilla Ice!!!

Word to your mother.

Hi Baron,

Lennon? I said I adored his talent (by which i meant his lyrics & songwriting) but he was not a person whom I liked in other respects. What hacked me off was after his murder - which truly shocked, hurt & saddened me - he suddenly became a wonderful person in the eyes of the media. He was NOT a wonderful person. He WAS a wonderfullly talented - perhaps one of THE most talented ever - artist. I admired his work greatly. I did not admire him.

It surprises me that so many folks seem to believe that because someone is good at their "trade," be it footballer, snooker player, musician, even poker player - then it follows that they are a good person. It does not. Or vice-versa.

Do we have to admire, say, Gazza, as a person simply because we admired him as a footballer?

Not in my book.

Interesting, i have never heard anyone say anything bad about Lennon before, care to elaborate?

I saw Gazza at a footie do (after dinner speaker) and he drank water all night but chain smoked cheroots/cigarettes all night.
Now he was defo on water (we know the organiser) but he did have the shakes/slurred voice etc. very much the Ossie Osbourne type thing.
This was actually only a few months back and he said he was teetotal these days...................

Eye of the tiger.

Hmmm ok, poker music. Well more often than not i need to be listening to something that gets me pumped up so that when the adrenilin starts flowing once the game starts i find it easier to get "into the zone". Once i'm there i find i tend to play a lot better live, at home playing online i listen to just about anything (but usually tracks below). My list is as follows.

Usually the two albums i'm listening to are:

Bonkers 12 CD1: Hixxy mix
Bonkers 13 CD1: Hixxy Old Skool Killa Kuts

But if i fancy a change i have the following albums at my disposal depending on my mood in the casino:

Bonkers 11 CD1: Hixxy mix
Bonkers 11 CD2: Sharkey mix
Drum & Bass Athems: Old skool
House of Pain: Fine Malt Lyrics
House of Pain: Same as it ever was
House of Pain: Truth crushed to earth shall rise again
Wu Tang Clan: 36 Chambers
Wu Tang Clan: Wu Tang Forever
Cypress Hill: Black Sunday
Cypress Hill: Cypress Hill IV
Linkin Park: Hybrid Theory
Linkin Park: Meteora
Linkin Park: Reanimation
Prodigy: Fat of the Land
Prodigy: Experience
Everlast: White trash beautiful
Everlast: Eat at Whitey's

Usually the battery has run out by now!!  :D

I like music that relaxes me at the poker table.

Leonard Cohen is my fave, I think he's magic.

Linkin Park?

It's wholly against blonde rules to even THINK about that crowd of reprobates.

Final Waring for that pesky Monkey.

Who said anything about thinking about them? I just listen to their music, just as you do with Mr. Mathers :)

So if we could go back to "penultimate warning for pesky monkey" that would be gratefully appreciated  0:-)

Wow, I've never heard Lennon referred to in a bad light at all. Ever. (Except by McCartney!)

Anyone know where I can read up on this sorta thing?

Yet i heard an interview with McCartney yesterday and all he did was praise Lennon......i think the boss is confused
