Tom Waits, Mr. Siegal :


well i dropped thirty grand on the nugget slots, i had to sell my ass on
fremont street, and the drummer said there's sanctuary, over at the bagdad
room, and now it's one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready,
and go man go, i said tell me mr. siegel, how do i get out of here.

The Pogues, Bottle of Smoke :

Thanks and praises
Thanks to jesus
I bet on the bottle of smoke
I went to hell
And to the races
To bet on the bottle of smoke

Some versions of House of the Rising Sun, including the Dylan version:

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

He fills his glasses up to the brim
And he'll pass the cards around
And the only pleasure he gets out of life
Is ramblin' from town town

Not really a poker song, but Frank Zappa and the Mothers' "Help! I'm a Rock" always reminds me of 2+2.

[Lottery Larry]

Didn't one of the well-known posters on 2+2 make a whole album? Angel, or something?
