"Official" Live at the Bike thread (5/18)

[Kevmath]

Tonight's show is scheduled to be their usual 30/60 limit game. The play was full of action with 5-6 people seeing the flop seemingly every hand for multiple bets. The schedule for the rest of their week, according to their site, is for 100 NL Thursday, 500 NL Friday (although there was talk it would be 1000 NL), then 200 NL Saturday night (with special guest Russ McGinley). With Shirley away at some other card room tonight, expect at least 3 of the 4 usual commentators (Bart, Tuch, Jana and Jennifer) on the show.

[Russ McGinley]

I exchanged e-mails with one of The Bike's administrators and she said they were going to try to get me on for an interview Friday or Saturday night. So look out for that as well.

Haha, excellent.

[gojacketz]

Haha, didn't think I would get to watch much tonight due to playing in the Quadruple shootout, but KK busted on the third hand and I have plenty of time, hehe.

[Russ McGinley]

At least it wasn't JJ.

[Jordan Olsommer]

Now this is real poker - some dude making bets while noshing a bowl of noodles

[Jive Dadson]

Okay, Russ if you insist on going through with it, you're going to need a script writer. I can help.

Blah blah blah blah implied odds blah blah blah blah blah absolutely blah blah blah I'm not a big fan of slow-playing trips blah blah blah blah blah blah Look at that! blah blah blah exactly blah blah blah blah I like the play blah blah I'm not a big fan of slow-playing quads blah blah blah Wow, look at that! blah blah blah Let's see how he plays it blah blah blah Oh wow, look at that.

Remember, the main thing is to keep talking all the time. If you allow anything said at the table to be heard, you have failed. Just keep explaining your concept of strategy and never fail to criticize every play, whether condemning it or praising it with "I like the play." Your motto shall be: "Actually, less is less."

Hope this helps.

[teajay]

For some reason on my machine the video just stays on the starting Live at the bike screen. (And yes, the play button is pushed). Anyone ever experience this?

[Jive Dadson]

Almost forgot. You will need to work on your "California A's." No, not the baseball team, the pronunciation. For example, "maybe" is pronounced "meebee."

[Kevmath]

You forgot read the "script" for their ads poorly.

Santa has dropped a few and is hanging out in seat 5...

[Russ McGinley]

They told me they can't let me in the booth for security reasons so I don't think I'll be able to take any of your suggestions. I will try though to just blurt out "I really hate slowplaying here" regardless of the situation.

[Kevmath]

Security reasons?

Have Denny give you a pat down and you should be fine.

Hahahahahaha. That's funny. Security, as in, you may go out to the table and tell one of the players, "Get up from the table. NOW!"

is this guy tonight named "billbill"?

[Russ McGinley]

Yeah I was a little confused about it, but who knows. Maybe Bart can use his pull there and get me in.

Kevin, this thread is no place for your sick fantasies.

I presume they mean Russ might take a wire in there and signal one of the players at the table.

My real name is Habib Marwan.

[Jordan Olsommer]

Ahahaha. The noodle-guy tried to get cute (read: braindead) with his kings limping in preflop then just calling on the flop and turn....allowing his opponent to hit his gutshot straight. Poetic justice. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Kevmath]

How can he signal to someone at the table if he's in the studio?

Kevin...

[The_Bends]

2+2 gets a mention.

That king play was awful.

[teajay]

Excellent. Works like a charm. Thanks

I was a little worried for a bit. The 30-60 is my favorite, too bad it's on wednesdays and it runs to 1amon the east coast

There are some modern devices that make that possible. Maybe you missed the news. Google for "Marconi".

[Jordan Olsommer]

hey does anybody know what this "on demand" business the guy was just talking about is all about?

He said something about signing up for the archives for 15 bucks, but I can't find a link to it on thebike.com

are they downloadable too or just streaming?

Just streaming, I believe. I wonder if its' possible to shuttle back and forth, do slo-mo, etc.

[Kevmath]

It's streaming only, and I don't think you can skip ahead in the show and there's definitely no slo-mo.

Kevin...

[Russ McGinley]

You can skip to wherever you want, in the archives.

Aww man - I was looking forward to watching that guy slobber over his bowl of noodles in slow-motion.

[Russ McGinley]

Nice play by BillBill.

Check-call all the way with bottom pair no kicker then fold on the river when you think everybody's on a flush draw and it doesn't hit.

[Kevmath]

Tonight's show must really suck if they're repeating reads 1:15 into the show.

Damn, I wish I were playing.

I was thinking of going to the Bike as well. I heard there was a hotel near by that offered a poker rate. Does any one know the name of the hotel?

Real poker players sleep in their pickup campers in the parking lot.

Yeah the Hotel is right next store.
If you call them at the Bike they will book you a reservation.

[geormiet]

I'm attempting to play 2200 hands online per day for the next two months. It's gonna be tough to find time to get in any live play. Maybe next week...

[Jive Dadson]

The commentary on the AK, QQ, JT hand reached a new all-time low.

[Kevmath]

Ramada Limited, call them at 562-928-3452

[whalekock]

It's a comfort inn. Not very fancy.

[Jive Dadson]

I can't take any more of the blah, blah, blah. Goodnight all. Russ, practice, practice, practice.

Practice your funny image posting!

Try it out with Clayton, he really loves them.

[Russ McGinley]

What's with all these pocket aces holding up and winning monster pots?

[gojacketz]

Haha, I had them hold up 4 of 5 times playing on Party tonight. Must be their night.

Gojacketz

[TheCodeDog]

I love it when people steam when their J3 doesn't hold up.

[-Skeme-]

Grace looks hawt in those shades. So does 7 seat. 4 seat is a turd.

[Kevmath]

Seat 4 needs to stop playing J-x, he lost a huge pot with J-7, flopped trips, J on the turn, he and the 1 seat went about 6 bets on the turn, river was a blank. Other guy of course has JJ to drag down the pot.

Kevin...

[-Skeme-]

Kev, how about getting us some pics of the ladies or something. They need more floor angles so I can see their faces.

[Russ McGinley]

"Look, we can split this pot with trash!" (high five!)

[goodFlop]

the table talk is pretty good -- winning with 69 (reference sex position) by both ladies in the house

btw, has any1 gotten a good look at seat 8? She looks promising (vikkie)

[Russ McGinley]

I think seat 4's tie is too tight. I hate it when pocket aces crack my K9o!

[Kevmath]

Seat 4 certainly is no Rick Nebiolo, he's definitely the best L@TB player who's able to play while wearing a tie.

Kevin...

[Russ McGinley]

ZZ Top takes a walk. Nice suckout BillBill!

GAMBOOOL

[avesterl]

Is this really a 30/60 table? It's really unbelievable for me. I've seen seat 1 play before, and he's horrible. Is he a "pro"? I started laughing when I first watched this show, but week after week it amazes me how unintelligent people can be with this amount of money. But at least this thread is always entertaining.

[Russ McGinley]

Yes, and I share your sentiments. Before this show, I thought a game like 30/60 would feature a lot of solid players who did not have sufficient bankrolls for the high games. Now I see that these guys are just the same donks that you find at any 1/2 game except they have more money to piss away.

[avesterl]

He's in seat 8 now, but i think seat one is the second best player at the table.

[Russ McGinley]

Yeah, that was a skillful open-muck.

[avesterl]

It's *@# like this that makes you remember him, there's a gem. Gives the girl a few drinks and I think the comic value of the commentary would be golden.

[prizminferno]

Seat 9 rules!

[Russ McGinley]

Crikey what a pot! Aces hold up again, somehow surviving A3o.
