"Official" Live at the Bike thread (6/22)

[Kevmath]

According to the schedule, instead of the usual 30/60 limit game, they're dropping it down to 8/16 tonight, which should have many people seeing a flop and suckouts galore. Tomorrow night, they're doing a Playmate shootout from 9-10pm with a 1K shootout for a WSOP Main event seat. For those that are having trouble viewing the show off their website, put in http://216.53.204.10/bike/bike_300.asx into your Windows Media Player and be aware they're probably still running a preview before the show, so you may want to refresh your browser.

Kevin...

[Rhinehold]

Let's 'Get It On!'

[geormiet]

I hope they don't make the chnage to 8/16 permanent! i was actually gonna head out today until i found this out.

[Kevmath]

Maybe if the 4 seat was playing 30/60 the same way with the same stack of chips.

Kevin...

[geormiet]

WOW. Love the river raise with K2!

[Russ McGinley]

You might want to rethink. This is like free money.

[Photoc]

OMG, why I can't I live near LA!!! These games are insanely soft. 10 2 and 35 calling raises? Omg massive drooling going on over here!

[Russ McGinley]

This is the biggest donkfest I've ever seen at this level.

Is it hard to get on the "tv table" at the bike? I have some friends in LA I was going convince to go play one day...

[Kevmath]

It seems that the Bike is holding down the ultra-loose aggressive button on a few of these guys.

Kevin...

[Jive Dadson]

Now that we know players like this exist, what's the point? Don't they have an 40-80 or 80-160 they could show. I mean, really.

I was in a $6 $12 game at Bay 101 Sunday that had a couple of players in it who were this bad. I don't think I've ever seen this many mega-donks assembled at one table though.

[Kevmath]

It probably depends on what game they spread, but they usually start play at the "TV Table" a couple of hours before broadcast.

Kevin...

[geormiet]

Just show up a few hours early and get on the list.

[Jive Dadson]

... and seat 8 calls for a new setup.

[Kevmath]

There's been some 30/60 games on L@TB that have been very loose at times, it's nothing really new.

Kevin...

[detroitplayer]

The commentary about the guy "value calling" with Q9 off with a 2-4-8 board was hilarious.

[Jive Dadson]

... and Bart asks if all "geems" are this egregious.

[henrikrh]

YES! the stream finally works good for me! Lot's of old people.

[henrikrh]

Big blind in with 23 off-suit, limper calls raise with 96 suited. 6 people in and it's checked around!! Holy craps! These guys are terrible.

Mine was really shitty for their little promo they show in the off hours, but i followed the link from the OP and now it's pretty smooth, but still a little blury.

Some guy just called all the way with A10, only gutshot draw and overcard, when he hits the overcard her checks instead of betting. Whats teh word for weak loose, only more weak loose than weak loose, uberweaken-loose?

[arvin]

hey Bart, is this action what you'd normally see in low and lower limits?

[Kevmath]

Do you have WMP 10? I've got a very smooth stream going right now.

Kevin...

[Jive Dadson]

Let's hear the dealer!! C'mon. I think I just heard him say, "That's either too many chips or a raise."

[Kevmath]

Bart asked Jennifer (who props 8/16) and she said the games she plays are usually not this loose.

Kevin...

I've been playing in No. Cal casinos since 1984, and I've never seen anything remotely this absurd, ever.

[BlackRain]

Well at least we know seat 9 is very, very honest guy. This is bad poker lol.

[Rhinehold]

Yeah, I've been playing during this broadcast and three times in a row got sucked out, first by top two pair (Q7) all-in bet getting called by QK and the K comes on the turn, once by a J/7 suited calling a pre-flop raise I made with my pocket JJ and catching the straight AND the flush, and finally when my pocket QQ all-in bet was called with a guy with a J high flush draw, and he catches it on the turn.

People have been calling pre-flop raises on me all night at UB and catching everything, good time to take a break and watch it instead of having it happen to me. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Jive Dadson]

If ever there was a time for table talk, this is it. There's nothing that can be said about these plays, but listening to the monkeys chatter might be amusing. I heard one of them say, "Take your skirt off, Alice."

[Jive Dadson]

Never tell bad beat stories. Half the people don't care, and the other half are glad.

[henrikrh]

The 37 suckout for 32bets looked pretty painful, stupid AK player should have been more aggressive.

[Russ McGinley]

Yeah, one more bet would have chased 73s away in this game.

[Jive Dadson]

Go seat four!

[BlackRain]

I just tuned in. Seat 4 doesn't do that "folding" thing I gather? Is this the face of a premium well bred donkey?

[henrikrh]

"seems like the people on 2+2 are having a good time"

HUH?!? Are htey reading this thread? Cool. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Kevmath]

He may have folded once or twice the first hour at most. Usually he throws in blind raises and bets on the flop.

Kevin...

[Russ McGinley]

That's two slowrolls from seat 9.

[Kevmath]

An "official" thread has been up for every show since about the 2nd week of L@TB.

Kevin...

Are you suggesting that when you have teh best of it you should weaken up because people will call and try to draw out anyways? Even if he still calls a raise is definently needed, top pair top kicker is gold compared to the hands everyone else is playing.

[Russ McGinley]

No, but its silly to think that another raise would have gotten stupid hands out. I'd raise with anything decent in this game but I wouldn't expect any folds.

[Rhinehold]

The way they are calling you would have to think a raise will be called by enough people to be more of a value than the slowplay, don't you think?

[Russ McGinley]

Slowplaying on this table is the most asinine thing you could do.

[avesterl]

Does anybody have any idea why the left 8th of my screen always loads with a fuzzy double image?

[Russ McGinley]

OH MAN

Seat 4 is leaving. Damn that just killed this game.

[DrNo888]

Did he lose all his money?
I was busy and missed the last half hour or so.

[henrikrh]

He was WAY up, won 3 big pots, then threw some money away on a stupid bluff and left to play tournies.

[Russ McGinley]

Nice check with the nuts. I guess he was scared of... the guy having 3 pocket aces?

[Bradyams]

HAHAHAHA the guy checked the nuts on the river!

[Jive Dadson]

Obviously a Bill Filmaff fan. He value checked his nuts on the river.

Gotta check nut straights on the river, with 6th street coming evryone is favourite to hit backdoor quads.

LMAO he just slowrolled a chop.

I'll translate the Korean. He said "I'm a slowrolling donkey."

[henrikrh]

OH MY GOD! JOHNNY CHAN SITS DOWN!!

The game in my head is more exciting, bring back JASON!

[BlackRain]

ok I've seen enough lol. off to play online. cya guys

[/ QUOTE ]

No. There is no value in checking. You need to reread Bill's book.

[avesterl]

Yeah a bunch of times, it loads full screen and always comes up fuzzy, it's okay if i make it really small, so i guess it's something with this monitor (cheap lg flatscreen)

[Kevmath]

Tomorrow is $5,000 Stud, I imagine that field's going to be stacked, while the field at the Bike may have a bunch of Jason types.

Kevin...

[henrikrh]

Gotta love the +ev nature of checking down top two-pair, and missing a potential max 3.5 bbs.

[Bradyams]

I love the check on the monotone flop with the nut straight.

[Piers]

No point betting on the river, its not as if its going to make any difference to who wins the pot /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[henrikrh]

That slowrolling guy pisses me off, slowrolling is so annoying. He is also wearing the uniform of janitor where I went to highschool, that plus his play has me laughing my ass off.

[Russ McGinley]

I would slowroll him every chance I got.

[Bradyams]

The dealer is talking about 2+2 /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[Russ McGinley]

Yet another slowroll. This guy deserves to get punched in the head.

[CrazyN8]

WOW! Turn it on to see quad 10s (w/ 10-6) against 10s full Js.

[detroitplayer]

Did I just hear someone say "damn asians" when he slow rolled quad 10s?

[BarronVangorToth]

Guys,

I just got here ... but in skimming the above posts, this guy in the #9 has been doing this a lot with "six kicker" nonsense?

Anyone else I should be paying attention to (either for quality - yeah, right - or comedic purposes)?

Barron Vangor Toth

[henrikrh]

the guy slowrolled quad tens! this guy is such a dickhead.

Edit: The racist response is more annoying, and they continue dissing asians a minute after which is totally uncalled for.

Two wrongs make a double-wrong.

[Kevmath]

I like the guy who goes "6 kicker" every 30 seconds.

Kevin...

[Kevmath]

You missed the better part of the show, when there was a guy in the 4 seat playing just about every hand, throwing in blind raises and bets and actually came out ahead. The game was really loose aggressive, but it's really slowed down. The 9 seat's slowrolled about 10 times so far.

Kevin...

[CrazyN8]

Wow...what the hell is going on?

[Kevmath]

Try viewing it from their website, at www.thebike.com (http://www.thebike.com), and click on live at the bike along the left hand side. I don't know if the show's optimized for WMP 10, but you may want to upgrade if not.
