Here we go for part two of the poker songs for the mind and body! From five to one:

5. Bob Seger & Silver Bullet Band – Fire Lake

Perhaps my favorite Seger song. But on the poker table, this song is only for the REAL gamblers. With nerves of steel. Because this song is all about taking risks, big risks. Risks that can lead to your death, as perfectly stated in the following lyric: ‘Who wants to play those eights and aces – Who wants a raise – Who needs a stake – Who wants to take that long shot gamble.’

4. Eagles – Desperado

Well, of course this song had to be somewhere in this list ^^. ‘Don’t you draw the queen of diamonds, boy – She’ll beat you if she’s able – You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.’ You’ll better not draw the queen of diamonds. I’ll beat you.

3. Steve Miller Band  -The Joker

You all know this song. Some people call me the spacecowboy, right? Great song for poker with wild cards.

2. Pink Floyd – Money

Probably one of the most famous bass loops in the history of rock music:  ‘Money, get back. I’m alright, Jack, keep your hands off my stack’. I always love this song when I’m the chipleader. From Dark Side of the Moon of course.

1. Motörhead – Ace of Spades

Not very surprising. No further explanation needed. I mean:

Pushing up the ante
I know you’ve got to see me
Read ‘em and weep
The dead man’s hand again
I see it in your eyes
Take one look and die
The only thing you see
You know it’s gonna be

The ace of spades
