Hip Hop Playlist for Poker Players

These Hip Hop playlists make you change at the right time.

Early Stages

In the early stages of a large online tournament you don't want to go crazy with speculative hands. The key is to sit back and let other players make the mistakes.

You might want to bluff once in a while to pick up some smaller pots, but when you commit a large portion of your stack your cards should have some showdown value.

To get a laid-back playing style, have this playlist in your headphones:

You can't sit back and wait for great starting hands anymore, especially if you're below average in chips.

The blinds will grind you down.

Late Stages

In the late stages of the tournament it's time to start pushing people around.

You're not interested in finishing 42nd. You want to win.

When you switch on an aggressive playing style, the short stacks will be afraid of you. And since the large stacks know you're prepared to put your entire stack in the middle, they will think twice before battling with you.

Now there's nothing to lose and this aggressive playlist will help you reach the final table and take home the whole thing.
