Live at the Bike thread (5/14)

[Kevmath]

Tonight's show starts with the final table of thebike.com's freeroll event, which was detailed a bit in whalekock's post. When that ends, they'll be bringing in a 200 NL game about 20 minutes after that happens. Last night's game, the 10/20 NL $1k min buyin, is replacing the 500 min game that's usually been held Friday nights, according to Mo.

[Kashie]

Have fun guys, I'll be at the Trinadad fight.

I might check in later!

[whalekock]

According to Denny, The final table can chop but they would still have to play out the chips unitl they have an "official" winner. Unless they start playing "big blind" always wins, the final table should last less than an hour and a half.

[Kevmath]

The first time L@TB tried to do a live final table, Denny made the mistake of not stating before the tournament in question started that they can only make a deal for 90% of the prize pool and they had to play it out. What happened was everyone decided to do a chip count deal before the final table started.

Kevin...

[Kevmath]

I think we found the drunk one at the table.

Kevin...

[Russ McGinley]

LOL, good start.

"I NEED A BEER!!!"

[TinCup]

Do you think?

Don't you guys recognise who that is? It's Carl Spackler!

[Russ McGinley]

Hard to tell that seat 9 has been drinking.

That is quite a tight fold of AT when its folded to him in MP.

[whalekock]

Angie is EvilJokers Mother. Ponder That.

[Kevmath]

It seems that this guy's been on the show before, but I could be wrong.

[ace_in_the_hole]

1st, 2nd, and 24d get computer related prizes as well as cash so I think they would have to play it out anyway. Unless they agreed to sell the items and split the money up. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Jive Dadson]

This crowd has gone deadly silent, a Cinderella story ... outta nowhere ... former greenskeeper and now about to become the Bicycle champion.

[Russ McGinley]

License to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. Man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that's all she wrote.

I just remembered. Carl Spackler announced the big game properly: He whispered.

[celiboy]

Could you guys give me a link

I did a search of Live at the Bike and got nothing.

[Russ McGinley]

http://www.thebike.com/live_at_the_bike/

[Kevmath]

http://216.53.204.10/bike/bike_300.asx works well too.

Kevin...

[Russ McGinley]

They need to put the seat numbers up. Nobody knows these usernames and they just muffed that call because of the names.

Ok, I see them, barely.

[Jive Dadson]

He whispered until the big, uh, climax: "It's in the hole! It's in the HOLE!"

[Kevmath]

Maybe this guy will win the tournament, and then stay there for the 200 game and lose it all. Then it'd be a great story.

Kevin...

[whalekock]

There was another player today, ExposMoose, if you can beleive was twice as drunk as EvilJoker. I think he passed out after he busted. He would have been awesome.

[celiboy]

Thanks

Good god, who is the blonde?

[Kevmath]

Maybe Carl can do the reads too, since he seems to know them pretty well.

Kevin...

[Jive Dadson]

Station the hover-cam at seat one. Thank you.

[Russ McGinley]

If Carl also loses his computer in the 200 game, he would become a LATB legend.

[whalekock]

Tammy, she's a good looking older dame. She was down to 300 at one point in the tourney.

[whalekock]

I love how EvilJoker treats his mother. Angie is a very nice lady.

[Russ McGinley]

"I want a Coke! COKE! I don't want Pepsi! Pepsi SUCKS!"

[Russ McGinley]

Wow.

Seat 3 just got his nuts stomped on.

[whalekock]

EvilJoker needs his own weekly show. Now.

[Kevmath]

Gee they're really speeding it up now. They seemed to just basically skip 1k/2k.

Kevin...

[Russ McGinley]

This should be over within 10 minutes.

FMP

[Russ McGinley]

Wow that was a pitiful fold. Maybe he's waiting to move up to get the speaker set or something.

[whalekock]

I wish he mucked his AceQueen when he busted me out. Bastard.

[Jive Dadson]

Haha. Jana tells Bart to be quiet so she can hear the table. (Ahem.)

[Russ McGinley]

Uh oh. You are opening up the Ark with that comment.

[whalekock]

Freeroll tourney + Sunglasses. Why?

[Russ McGinley]

http://www.planetstacked.com/fillmaff/worldwidechamp.jpg

[Jive Dadson]

"Instead of winning one hand, he's got to win like eight hands."

So he would have 128 times as many chips if he had called with AT?

[Jive Dadson]

Yawn. Wake me before the bar closes.

[Jive Dadson]

Say it, Bart. Great slow play. You can do it.

[Russ McGinley]

Uh oh! Seat 3 doubles through! Denny needs to raise the blinds up to about 10k-20k.

Lee Watkinson, Bart.

[ambyrx]

500 dollars might be a lot for a freeroll--even though you guys win that much in one hand --500 is a lot for me too.

[whalekock]

Free Laptop is good enough, they'll most likely blow the cash before they reach the exit.

[Russ McGinley]

Lets see if Tuchman gets brutalized like he did last time.

[Kashie]

ok Kids thought I check in!

I watchin ya, the fight has started yet!

[Russ McGinley]

http://trephination.net/gallery/macros/cliff_notes.jpg

[whalekock]

Russ,

When are you playing @ Live?

[Russ McGinley]

Tuch with a nice win! Dunno about that button limp but it worked out for him.

[Russ McGinley]

<----

[Jive Dadson]

Dave has discovered the post oak bluff.

[pzhon]

KT had more than a gutshot on that J97 flop, A turn. KT had a double-gutshot and an overcard. That made the semi-bluff much cheaper than if it were only a gutshot.

[Jive Dadson]

Dave is winkling for a tell. She needs to shut up.

[Russ McGinley]

Dave should have already picked up this tell long ago.

[Jive Dadson]

The dealer called her hand, with the "how obvious could you be" voice, "Pocket aces."

[whalekock]

Anybody ever see "Orgazmo". Seat six voice reminds me of the twins in the movie.

Look at these fools arguing over who shows first. This must be a race to see who can look dumber on camera.

[whalekock]

The Hamster would kick the Guinea Pigs Ass. Size does not matter, when it comes to Hamster style.

[Kevmath]

You need to add Secret System and JOPKE to that picture.

Kevin...

[whalekock]

Seat 9 should pack up and go home. It ain't his night.

[Russ McGinley]

JACKPOT JACKPOT JACKPOT

[Russ McGinley]

Jive, there's a tell straight outta Caro's BoPT. Did you see it?

[Kevmath]

[ QUOTE ]
What is the buy-in for this game? I would have thought 200-500 but I think Seat 9 just bought in for 100.

[/ QUOTE ]

The initial buyin is 200. If you go under 100 during the game, you can rebuy to get your chips back up to 300.

Kevin...

[whalekock]

[ QUOTE ]
And, he just lost his $100. He really does need to go home.

He needs to take a quiet stroll on the Beach. Notch up one more ulcer for that guy.

Sorry. I haven't been paying attention. Shopping on-line for hamster paraphernalia.

[Russ McGinley]

Seat 5, who flopped a full, gave the old "eh, why not" shrug before making a bet on the turn.

Interesting, why play JT if you're going to fold to a small bet when you flop an OESD?

A classic. I pick up lots of tells by watching the opponents watch the cards come off. They don't even know you are watching them, so you get honest tells. Combine one of those with a conflicting acting tell, and you can be sure your read is 100% correct. We can't pick up the first kind here, because the camera cuts to the board as the cards come out. $%^&*!!!

[stalar]

Hello to Bart and the other non bart guy!!! Send a shout out to a sick friend (Larry). Good show tonight. We still golfing on Tues????

Later, Larry

[Kevmath]

Speaking of FACS, the L&O: SVU show that had Martin Short as the crazy "psychic" who used it was on at 9pm tonight. I was going to mention that in my post that started the thread, and forgot about it, oops.

Kevin...

[Jive Dadson]

Raises to 7 times the BB. Sheesh.

[Jive Dadson]

And that, children, is why you don't re-open the pot with a small bet.

[Russ McGinley]

I forsee AJ winning.

Damn, this is some fugly weakly played overpairs.

[Jive Dadson]

What a bizzarre hand, KK, QQ, AJs.

We better not see play like that out of you Russ McGinley, you need to do us proud and either win a lot of money, or go down in a blaze of glory.

Kevin...

[Russ McGinley]

I would have been all in with KK and probably QQ.

I also will not be saying things like "I put him on AA", "I think I'm beat so here's my money", or "What a come from behind!"

I will, however, say "I value call my nuts" at least once and definitely once during table talk.

Was that the hand with the monster pot won by Seat 9? I missed it I was talking on the phone.

What happened?

Having never been to The Bike I don't know much about Live at The Bike or anything else Bike related. How do these players get selected for these games? I would think a lot of people would want to play.

There's a list for that table, just like any table at the Bike or any other card room. In order to play at that table though, they do have to sign a release allowing themself to be broadcast over the Internet. At www.thebike.com (http://www.thebike.com), they usually put up a schedule for what game they're going to broadcast Wednesday-Saturday. The recent schedule has been Wednesday 30/60 limit, Thursday "high stakes" limit or a 5k 1 table shootout (although most weeks it's usually a 100 or 200 NL game, Friday night is now the 10/20 NL 1k min buyin game and Saturday night is the 200 NL game.

Kevin...

[neotope]

So that table has its own list or would you just randomly get seated there if a seat opened and you were on the list for the game?

Just curious.

[Russ McGinley]

The table has its own list.
