You could bluff your way without any cards, and I'm going, 'No, you can't because these guys are too stupid to bluff.' I tried to bluff a guy and he had a pair of threes and he stayed."

Meatloaf's first round game includes comedian-actor Howie Mandel, plus actors Bryan Cranston from Malcolm In The Middle, Stephen Collins from 7th Heaven, and Peter Dinklage from the films Elf and The Station Agent.

The singer was playing on behalf of the Painted Turtle, a California charity that works with children suffering from life-threatening illnesses.

Meatloaf is recording a third Bat Out Of Hell album, which will be released in 2006.

He performs on Saturday (August 20th) in Lima, Ohio.
