If you could listen to one song to get ready for a WSOP final table .

[Turning Stone Pro]

I'd have to take "One in a Million" by G 'n R. Slash's opening guitar riff gets me ready to go everytime.

TSP

[MrWookie47]

AC/DC - The Jack

Just because it would relax me and make me smile.

[kyro]

"Take a Look Around" by Limp Bizkit. Bass turned up for that one part before the "now i know why" repeat.

[MoreWineII]

Got Me Wrong, AIC

always gives me an adrenaline rush for some reason

[CallMeIshmael]

Jump - Van Halen

I find that a very high energy song.

[samjjones]

Eye of the Tiger - Survivor

[Patrick del Poker Grande]

I'm pretty sure it would be this (http://hamsterdance.com/). I'd recommend the same for anyone else.

[BWebb]

This is poker, not a prize fight. You don't want to get all amped up. I go something mellow. Right now, I'd go something like Wilco-"Jesus, etc." or even some Coldplay.

[texaspimp]

"I Will Not Go Quietly" - Don Henley

[chaas4747]

Do you really get all cranked up to play poker? I would probably pick some James Taylor, or something along those lines that would calm me down, and mellow me out.

[poker-penguin]

Kenny Rogers - The Gambler

Actually I'd probably be running around going "OMG WTF I made a final table WOOO!"

Does HoH come in an audiobook?

[dcasper70]

Anything from Iron Maiden

Most likely 'Powerslave', '2 Minutes to Midnight' or 'Moonchild'

If that doesn't pump you up, well, you're dead


ooooh, good call on the mellow James Taylor (yeah there's a good mix, JT and Maiden...)

[CollinEstes]

Mone-Mone-Mone-Money, Money.

Donald Trump style.

[icepick]

Mortal Kombat Techno Theme Song.

"Test your might"

[fnord_too]

Life During Wartime (live version) - Talking Heads

[touchfaith]

RUSH - La Villa Strangiato


Instrumentals rule.

[utmt40]

Out of my way! by Seether

[mmbt0ne]

Reel Big Fish - Big [censored]' Star (except they changed the name to Big Star on WDTRSH, and its a lot better song on that CD than Everything Sucks)

I don't know why, but I've always listened to that song before games. It's really not the type of song that should get you amped.

[wayabvpar]

"You've Got Another Thing Comin'" by Judas Priest. Gets my energy and aggression levels nice and high.

2nd place would be 'Wake Up' by RAtM.

[youtalkfunny]

"Hell's Bells", AC/DC. Put me in the mindset that I am one bad muther. I am the Reaper, come to collect. All should fear me.

[hogua]

Momma Said Knock You Out - LL Cool J

[renodoc]

Fight like a Brave

RHCP

My poker playlist is filled with songs to help me not be a weak-tight pussy.

[Iplayragstoo]

followed up by Rush - One little victory

from there last... /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[yoadrians]

The "Family Ties" theme song.

Good idea, I'd go with Fire and Rain.

[tworooks]

Rocky 1 theme song

[bisonbison]

This thread sucks for a variety of reasons.

[Voltron87]

rabbit run, eminem. volume, bass, etc, = very high

[Edginator]

Can't be Touched - Roy Jones Jr.

[BusterStacks]

Master of Puppets - Metallica

also Voltron's selection is a close second.

[NLSoldier]

Fuel by metallica

[Turning Stone Pro]

Go write a hand posting program or something. Or better yet, sit down at my table so I don't have to work 2morrow.

[razor]

Welcome to the Jungle

[Mike Gallo]

....Sounds of Silence...

Simon and Garfunkle.

I used to that in my car before every playoff hockey game.

[billyjex]

rammstein - du hast.

[JustSomeJackass]

"Come Out and Play" by Offspring

[Frequitude]

Rage - Renegades of Funk

[Reef]

bonecrusher - never scared

"So I'm outside of da club and you think I'm a puuuuuuuunk
So I go to my loaded tech 9 that's off in the truuuuuuuunk
I told that motherf#cker
I ain't never scared (eastside!)"

[The Stranger]

what is WSOP?

[Punker]

If I was wiped out because I couldn't sleep the night before due to nervousness/excitement and needed to get pumped up:

"I want it all" by Queen

If I was bouncing off the walls with adrenaline and needed to calm down:

"If I had a million dollars" by Barenaked Ladies.

[astroglide]

i'd go with that "welcome to the limit" song from scarface

[sfer]

The song during the tournament in The Karate Kid.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, I do want to get amped up. This is a final table, and I personally feel that the "Eye of the Tiger" lyrics would fit my underdog status. In my mind, it would push me to play aggressively and confidently, which is certainly needed at a final table.

Bad idea. You'd start min betting/raising everything. Then you say something dumb like "I cap" and everyone laughs at you.
