Poker Playlist

When I am sitting down at a card table, I stick one AirPod in (leaving the other ear free to hear the dealer or misc. table chatter), then when the battery on that one dies, I swap it out with the other in the charging case. It makes a pair of AirPods last a loooong time. And I can just hear you ask, “But, Paul, what do you listen to when playing cards?” A variety of things, actually. But I do have a Poker Playlist:
