I never paid much attention to this song but since Ive learned to play poker the "who wants to play those 8s and Aces" caught my attention....I just dont get the rest of the song........I know there are music junkies here, anyone know the story behind the song?
Fire Lake Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band -from the album "Against The Wind" Who's gonna ride that chrome three wheeler Who's gonna make that first mistake Who wants to wear those gypsy leathers All the way to Fire Lake Who wants to break the news about Uncle Joe You remember Uncle Joe He was the one afraid to cut the cake Who wants to tell poor Aunt Sarah Joe's run off to Fire Lake Joe's run off to Fire Lake Who wants to brave those bronze beauties Lying in the sun With their long soft hair falling Flying as they run Oh they smile so shy And they flirt so well And they lay you down so fast Till you look straight up and say Oh Lord Am I really here at last Who wants to play those eights and aces Who wants a raise Who needs a stake Who wants to take that long shot gamble And head out to Fire Lake Head out Who wants to go to Fire Lake And head out Who wants to go to Fire Lake Head out Out to Fire Lake Who's gonna do it |

Meatpuppets, lake of fire
Where do bad folks go when they die? They don’t go to heaven where the angels fly They go down to the lake of fire and fry Won’t see them again till the fourth of july I knew a lady who came from duluth She got bit by a dog with a rabid tooth She went to her grave just a little too soon And she flew away howling on the yellow moon Now the people cry and the people moan And they look for a dry place to call their home And try to find some place to rest their bones While the angels and the devils Fight to claim them for their own Much better song.

Its about dying man.
Its about death and hell. Eights and Aces is the Dead Man's hand... to raise the stakes against death in a poker game. Last edited by Fletch XXX at Nov 26 2003, 02:24 PM

Interesting this recurrence of 8s and As in cards, they are supposed to be the sure split hands in blackjack. But perhaps not always, don't believe the little cards the casinos sell lol...

The Aces and Eights myth is old and deep, and refers to a poker hand instead of black jack though.
Its the hand Wild Bill was supposedly holding when he died. 'When Wild Bill Hickok fell down dead on the floor, he had in his hand five cards, the cards that became known as a "dead mans hand" (a two-pair of aces and eigths).' Hence the name. http://www.rollspel.com/engelsk/western/ewildbil.htm Last edited by Fletch XXX at Nov 26 2003, 02:37 PM

The song is clearly about gay men and the risk of AIDS.
Who's gonna ride that chrome three wheeler Who's gonna make that first mistake Who wants to wear those gypsy leathers All the way to Fire Lake Gay leather men on the way to Fire Island. Who wants to break the news about Uncle Joe You remember Uncle Joe He was the one afraid to cut the cake Who wants to tell poor Aunt Sarah Joe's run off to Fire Lake Joe's run off to Fire Lake Uncle Joe was afraid to cut the cake because he is gay. Who's going to tell Aunt Sarah that her husband is gay. Who wants to brave those bronze beauties Lying in the sun With their long soft hair falling Flying as they run Oh they smile so shy And they flirt so well And they lay you down so fast Till you look straight up and say Oh Lord Am I really here at last Talking about the promiscious gay men at Fire Island. Who wants to play those eights and aces Who wants a raise Who needs a stake Who wants to take that long shot gamble And head out to Fire Lake Head out Who wants to go to Fire Lake And head out Who wants to go to Fire Lake Head out Out to Fire Lake Who's gonna do it Who wants to risk having gay sex and possibly die from AIDS. |

This is from the Gambling Master's website himself... The "Wizard of Odds".. http://www.wizardofodds.com/games/blackjack/ The Basic Strategy The most important thing to know about blackjack is the basic strategy. This strategy is simply the best way to play every possible situation, without any knowledge of the distribution of the rest of the cards in the deck. Following is the basic strategy for four of more decks when the dealer stands on soft 17. Links are also provided to more basic strategy charts for other rules. However the most common game is the multiple deck game (4 or more decks) where the dealer stands on soft 17. If you only memorize one table I would suggest the one below. It can be played effectively under any rules.  Here's the Blackjack House Edge calculator: http://www.wizardofodds.com/games/blackjac...seedgecalc.html I don't think there are any rule scenarios where not splitting aces is correct!!

Maybe if you're counting cards and you have a really lean shoe remaining... Even then, you should still probably split aces catch one ten and take a push.

Don't forget to memorize the Surrender tables....
 http://www.wizardofodds.com/games/blackjac...ack/bjapx6.html The only time you don't split 8's is when there is no Double After Split allowed and the dealer is showing an ace. You Surrender.
