Do poker players listen to relaxing music to calm their nerves or high octane rock to keep their energy pumping? KCRW hosted poker analyst Ali Nejad for a Guest DJ set to find out the tricks of the trade. Ali is the voice of “Poker After Dark” on NBC and ESPN’s “World Series of Poker,” as well as a Friend of Full Tilt Poker. He shows all his cards when it comes to revealing the songs that help keep him calm at the table and give him a fresh perspective on life.

The entire set is available streaming, for download and as a podcast (w/ a transcript)

Enjoy!
