Award winning song writer and professional poker player Jason Mershon has found a way to combine his two favorite interests. The big named player has written an autobiographical song that is designed to, “humorously tell what it’s really like being a professional poker player; the sarcastic attitudes of many professional poker players; and the monotony of actually playing poker for a living and grinding out the long hours in a casino card room.” Simply named ‘Playin’ Poker for a Livin’ the song will provide a very intriguing offer to his listeners.
As part of the songs promotion the first 15,000 to purchase and download the new song at its official website www.playinpokerforalivin.com will have a chance at a piece of some of his real winnings. As a way of thanking his fans Mershon has agreed to give away 50% of all of his World Series of Poker table winnings to those who get in early.
“I’ve won dozens of smaller poker tournaments in California and Las Vegas, so I figure it’s time to ‘go for the gold’ at the World Series of Poker…I probably spend 90% of my time playing in cash games but I’m also considered a pretty good tournament player as well. So, I don’t want people to think I’m ‘dead money’ in the World Series of Poker,” he told reporters. "Last year's winner, Joe Cada, ended up winning $8.5 million dollars,” said Mershon, “and he actually did share 50% of his winnings with his friends who assisted him with the entry fee to enter the tournament. I'm not soliciting for anyone to pay my entry fees as Joe Cada did, but rather just thanking those who purchase the song."
"I think I've got as good chance as any in making the Final Table. I used to play with World Series of Poker champ Jerry Yang on a regular basis in California before he won the Main Event in 2006, and I've also held my own with many of the other well-known pros in tournaments and cash games alike. I think the past few years have proven that almost anyone has a chance in The Main Event."
"Additionally," he concluded, "I'm offering a special extended limited edition of my poker song which will only be available to the first 15,000 fans that purchase the song."
His song as we stated is available at www.playinpokerforalivin.com for those who are interested. With its old school smooth yet raw sound it’s definitely worth a listening in any case. All the lyrics and a full preview of the song are featured on the site so you don’t have to worry about buying anything you aren’t interested in. The song sells for $1.49.
