Tonight's show is scheduled to be the 200 min/max NL game, maybe tonight will be a better night overall then what most of last night's 500 game became before Men showed up. Also it'll be nice to not stare at dumber Brad Garrett for 4 hours and have Esther or some other good looking person instead. Also, make sure to vote (if you haven't already) in the poll I posted in an earlier thread. I doubt the small sample size will sway opinions, but at least it's something worth discussing.

This game is a gold mine. Why call a huge raise preflop, spike a pair, and check it down? Why play the hand at all if you're just going to check it down on a 6-high board? Unreal.

The announcers are louder than the players. One way to do it is to use a limiter. Then if the announcers want to blast out the players, they can turn their mics up and when they talk the limiter will keep the signal from getting louder. Did that make sense? Radio call-in talk show hosts who want to be able to blast out their callers do it all the time.

I know this is not big news to the regulars here, but I am a lot more interested in hearing the players than getting poker lessons from the announcers. Here's the thing. How often do you get a chance to hear weak to mediocre players' blather WHILE LOOKING AT THEIR HOLE CARDS? There's a wealth of verbal tell information buried beneath the announcers' railing against slow-plays.

[Edit] It seems to be getting better.

The comment that the lady announcer made about this game being a game of small edges is totally ridiculous. This is a no limit ring game NOT LIMIT and NOT A TOURNAMENT. If you are playing against opponents whom you think you have an advantage over you are not going to be putting your money in with a SMALL EDGE where you can lose YOUR ENTIRE STACK. You are going to wait for a larger edge farther down the road when you know you can get paid off large and with less risk since the weaker opponent is going to pay you off. Please stop shooting from the hip in your commentary, your starting to remind me of Norman McCloud (wsop announcer) who is completely clueless.

It looked like seat 3 check-raised the flop, check-called the turn, then check-called the river, then threw his cards face up and they landed right in front of the muck, to which the dealer immediately turned them face down and into the muck. Seat 3 is unbelievably lucky that the other players noticed.

Just ridiculous.

I respectfully disagree, the chatroom wouldn't help the show at all, since they'd have no realistic way to get feedback in a relatively timely manner. Combine that with the number of troublemakers most chatrooms seem to have, and it's a recipe for disaster.

bluffski
04-30-2005, 10:50 PM
If that would be the case people would be shoving all in preflop with ak or pairs etc because it is likely that they have a small edge. This would happen constantly even if they had thousands of dollars on the table and every1 had them covered. However, this isnt the case in NO LIMIT POKER because the pro doesnt take a small edge, instead he uses his skills to know when he has a larger edge and sticks his money in then. Continuning this discussion with you tells me that you to have no clue.

jana
04-30-2005, 10:55 PM
ok. i do my best to rarely respond to this thread as it does nothing but fuel the fire but this time two things came up that should be noted.

1) neither i nor bart (nor any of our commentators quite frankly) are "idiots". the show is LIVE, we react to things quickly (because we HAVE to since the avg hand is less than 2 mins and then we move on to the next hand) so when we say something like "holdem is a game of small edges and you can't afford to give free cards" we are obviously referring to the fact that EVEN when you flop TOP SET there are a lot of combinations taht you DON"T SEE (like runner runner straights) where you either lose or chop the pot. so taking one line out of context and running with it is just meaningless.

2) the hand where 8d 9d vs Jc Qc were heads up...i still don't' understand how you dispute that the 89 has 2 eights, 3 9s AND 9 diamonds for a total of 14 outs, TWICE (28/47 roughtly equals 60% to win the hand)...

Mark1808
04-30-2005, 10:56 PM
Entire stack does not equal whole bank roll. It is a game of edges, depends of what your definition of small is. I don't mind playing aggressively when I am 55 - 45. Now, if I've built up a large stack I may not be willing to commit the whole stack.

I've only watched a few times but I know I liked the announcers last night and I don't see a problem with them tonight.

bluffski
04-30-2005, 10:57 PM
Sure if your short no problem but when your deep its a whole new story

Hi Jana.

1. Don't yell at me, yell at bugman! I didn't call you anything but "confused" /images/graemlins/smile.gif (which you were on that T8o hand with the Q-J-T-x board.

2. I ran the numbers, twice even:

Holdem Hi: 990 enumerated boards containing 8c Qd 7d

8d 9d is a 50.71-49.29 favorite in that spot.

You would not have an edge shoving all in with AK because only hands that had an edge would be likely to call. Men the Master called an all in last night with open end straight draw, overcard and runner flush draw. He put the guy on a pair and was slight favorite if that was the case. he knows how to play.

thank you for the response, it shows you care about the game and what you are saying. I agree, taking one line out of context is not a good thing to do, however, sometimes you should think about what you've said and look at both sides of why someone might or might not do something during the game. There are different levels in thinking about this game. By the way looking at my post earlier I did come off a little harsh, however, I didnt call you an idiot, I called Norman Chad clueless.

Yes, I know, but Jana told Bart she was sure the 89s was a favorite, Bart said it was a slight favorite, Jana disagreed, I posted the numbers, Jana said she couldn't figure it out, I posted it again. What she assumes is that if 89s spikes two pair on the turn, it is the best hand now, but can still be beat by QJs resucking a Q or a J on the river, which is why they aren't "solid" outs.

Jumping over every small mistake the announcers make is a bad idea. This will tend to inhibit them, they all play a lot of poker and represent the type of players we will play against.We all make mistakes, it is helpful to hear both the players and announcers.

In the poll I posted earlier today, the way the schedule is now is in the lead, but there is a lot of support for the Monday-Friday schedule. 3 hours a night should be the minimum length of time for the program, since you can get a chance of having a flow to it. If it also eliminates the 30 minutes of "table talk", it's an added bonus.

I was at Bay 101 this afternoon. I sweated two 6/12 games while I was waiting. One game typically saw 4 or 5 players seeing the flop for a raise. The other game was tight as a drum and had four players who were not idiots. Guess which game I drew in to. I sat down and asked for a table change.

Are the games tighter on weekends? I mostly played during the week in the evenings - and "tight" was not a word that could ever be spoken when I was there.

Oh man, I could deal with a couple of double doubles fron In N Out Burger right now, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

I think it's going to stay 9pm-1am, they're just going to change the days they actually air.

Guy raises with KJos? I can't believe the starting hands these guys play. Is it just because they know they are on the broadcast?

Please dont make it a 3 hour show, some of the best times are in the 4th hour when the stacks get deeper. The deeper stacks mean possibly bigger pots and action i like to watch.

I think Denny needs to join this game ASAP to save the show tonight.

I wonder if they could hang a mic from the ceiling. That and a limiter, and they'd be set.

Great job of keeping up with the cards, size of raises etc... not sure what you have done to keep up but its working.

Not to be rude, but watching games this low are boring. It's not fun watching people you're better than. And I'm better than everyone so I guess it doesn't really matter. *watches*

Bart, why would you check-raise with an OESD OOP? When you're called and miss your draw you're screwed. Draws suck OOP.

It is just amazing. The guy just called heads up with 4 x BB raise with 78s. The raiser had qjos. I can easily see watching this why playing tight and aggressive is going to pay off. Most of these guys call with medium to low aces.

I'm possibly the greatest NL player since the kid Ungar. Not as good as Fillmaff, but good.

Wait, what are the stack sizes? Is this a $200 minimum buyin, but no max buyin? What are the blinds?

If live at the Bike has taught me anything, it's I give too much respect to my opponents.

Hello everyone. Couple of hands:


S8 Jh Js
S2 Ah Ks

Flop Jc 7d 9s

Turn 8d

River td

JJ raised to 25 preflop and got 5 callers. JJ check called S2's $50 bet on the flop. JJ Check called s2's $75 bet on the turn. River went check check and the pot was split.

I don't know if I have to analyze this hand because you all know what I am going to say....

Another Hand:

S4 Qs 9s
S5 2h 7h

Flop 9d 4h 7c

Turn Th

River Qh

Pot was limped 6 way, S5 has position on S4. Q9 leads out for $15 S5 raises to 30 S4 calls.
Turn goes check check.

River S4 bets $70 S5 calls.

I think that Roger missed a huge value raise here on the river. I'm ok with him raising S4 on the flop but when he pickes up the flush draw on the turn he checks. I think this is the time to bet even bigger. Now river makes S5 a backdoor flush, I very hard hand to put him on. The chances that someone else has a flush r very slim. I would have like to have seen him raise here maybe to $160-$200 total on the river. Roger most likley would have gotten all of s4's money as he made Queens up at the end.
