Mika versionando Pokerface

Aquí teneis una versión del Pokerface de Lady Gaga, pero en boca de Mika para la BBC

HOMENAJE A BOLTROK.

El amigo Boltrok ha decidido tomarse un descanso de su blog, con lo cual, no solo veremos limitadas sus perlas de sabiduría a su colaboración en Póquer-Red, si no que además nos deja huérfanos de una sección muy entrañable como es el Descanso Semanal.

En homenaje a Boltrok os pongo un video musical, que aunque ya tiene un tiempo, siempre pienso en él cuando hago una Value Bet llevando la Nut.

Un saludo Boltrok.

MUSICA PARA TUS TIMBAS DE POQUER.

Tienes cartas, fichas, ganchitos, una mesa molona y hasta una amiga guapa dispuesta a hacer de dealer. Pero aun te falta algo para crear el ambiente perfecto.

Mochimusic presenta el recopilatorio que no puede faltar nunca en tus timbas de póquer.

Con grandes éxitos como:

El tema principal de Miami Vice.

Otro clásico como es el tema de Los Hombres de Harrelson.

El famoso Bad Boys del reality COPS.

Y ya para cuando el ambiente se caldee temas más duros como el Policia de Sepultura.

O el polémico Cop Killa de IceT con BodyCount.

Y recuerden, estos discos no los encontrará en tiendas. Solo podrá adquirirlos llamando por teléfono a la comisaría de Les Corts y preguntando por los Mossos más cariñosos.

TILT

FICHAJE HEAVY

Cuentan en 52cartas, que el guitarrista de Anthrax, Scott Ian ha fichado por Ultimate Bet.

Al tomate no le extraña, porque ya habíamos descubierto la semana pasada que su carrera en el mundo de la guitarra está en horas bajas, ya que ni siquiera es capaz de tocar sus propias canciones en el Guitar Hero…

Pues nada, que se dedique al póquer y deje paso a las nuevas generaciones como esta muchacha, que a golpe de guitarra y meneo de nalga se ha convertido en la nueva reina del Guitar Hero…

AL PIE DE LA LETRA… (Parte II)

Siguiendo con la serie iniciada anteriormente, os traigo otro par de canciones relacionadas con el póquer.

La primera se titula “Poker” y es de la conocidísima ELO: Electric Light Orchestra

Poker

Away, the jokers's closing in,
Reform and they will win,
The light is fading fast.
I know, you know, they know, we all know,
Everybody's gonna burn down.

The girls come crawling on all fours,
Banging on locked doors,
High cards call the tune.
I know, you know, they know, we all know,
Everybody's gonna burn down.

Play me another hand,
Loose everything I am,
Until we meet again.

The ace, that's hiding up your sleeve,
Will cause the world to grieve,
The love you had is gone,
I know you know, they know, we all know.

The dream, in every player's heart,
To win it all not part,
They lie awake at night,
I know, you know, they know, we all know.

The game, where gamblers rule the night,
And get your blood they might,
The joker's closin' in,
I know, you know, they know, we all know.

La otra canción se titula “That was a Crazy Game of Poker” y pertenece a un grupo menos conocido llamado Of A Revolution.

That was a Crazy Game of Poker
oh my...
My twenty thrown down in my fist of rage
And the man to my left folded down
Well Johnny doubled up with a Royal Flush
I had three jacks and a pair of nines
My mind is turning just two shots more
There's not much left to play
Then dude walks in Black hat on top, what a mop
I'm lucky it wasn't a county cop, cause I'm just running out of time

Who's up for game two, what to do?
My wallets getting thin and I just lost my watch last night
I got a problem, just one answer got to throw it all down
And kiss that shit goodbye

That was a crazy game of poker
that was a crazy game of poker
I lost it all
But someday I'll be back again
And i never to fold.
Never to fold.

Who's up for game three?
I can barely see the bourbon drowning next to me
I just lost it all
Well there's a man sitting next to me
Red with smiling eyes
It's funny I don't have no money tonight.
yeah...

That was a crazy game of poker
I lost it all
But someday I'll be back again
And I never to fall.
Never to fall.

bada....
I say now skitili dat dat dat well how bout that
I'm coming out the front never coming out the back
And I walked into this bar yesterday
Cause I had something to do, something to say
And Johnny walked in right behind me and
I didn't turn around
Until I heard the sound of his feet falling
On the ground, I looked over my shoulder
And I saw a clown
And I said whatcha doing in the bar tonight?
Well I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said how about a revolution?
And he said right.

I say of, ya'll say A, I say revolution, and you say jah
I say of, ya'll say A, I say revolution, and you say jah

And I said whatcha looking at?
He hit me across the face with a bat.
So I grabbed my .45 and I said let's get out and go
so he opened the door, and said "whatcha here for?"
I said I'm wanderin' down the road 44
And I said I've been walking for about a thousand years
And my feet are growing tired
My eyes a little wired
Don't know what to do unless I retire
And he just said let's play some crazy poker
So I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said how about a revolution?
And he said right.

I say of, you say I, I say revolution, and you say jah
I say of, you say I, I say revolution, and you say jahdada

I said that was the craziest game of poker that I ever saw (2x)
But Im not gonna quit and I'm not gonna stop
I don't give a shit cause I got the drop
Johnny just got two eyes just like mine
And I'm feeling kind of funky, kinda fine
And I drank a bottle of whiskey before I came
Came to the bar to see what's the same
I saw my man named Johnny sitting across the table from me
And to my left was a man he had no chin
I didn't really think about starting a sin
The man to my right, wasn't feeling kinda nice
He looked kinda mad and I felt bad
Because I took his money last night
It's kinda funny
Now I'm just struggling
I need a honey bunny
I don't know what to say anymore
So Im just going to go out anywho

I said Johnny whatcha doing tonight?
He looked at me with a face full of fright
And I said how about a revolution?
And he said right.

I say of, you say a, I say revolution, and you say jah
I say of, you say a, I say revolution, and you say jahdada

AL PIE DE LA LETRA… (Parte I)

De forma parecida al concurso de Antena3, hoy vamos a abrir aquí un pequeño karaoke.

El otro día en el Foro de Póquer-Red, el forero PanJamon, que es un férreo defensor de la escuela Loose-Agresive, posteó un video y la letra del la canción Ace of Spades de los Motörhead, que reproduzco a continuación.

Ace Of Spades

If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man,
You win some, lose some, all the same to me,
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say,
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades

Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all the same to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stake or split,
The Ace Of Spades

You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live for ever,
And don't forget the joker!

Pushing up the ante, I know you wanna 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

Así que se me ocurrió buscar más canciones relacionadas con el póquer y el juego.

A parte de la archiconocida The Gambler de Kenny Rogers, he encontrado otras que postearé en sucesivas ocasiones.

The Gambler

On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere,
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
'Til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.

He said, "Son, I've made my life out of readin' people's faces,
And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
so if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces.
For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice."

So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow.
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression.
Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser,
And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."

When he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the window,
Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
