"Official" Live at the Bike thread (6/24, for real this time)

[Kevmath]

Tonight's show is scheduled to be the 1k min/no max buyin 10/20 NL game. Since last night's show really wasn't one for the archives, maybe tonight's "big game" will have some better poker in it. Speaking of last night, this thread (http://tinyurl.com/78u52) got started earlier today, hopefully Bart will add his thoughts to what happened last night.

Kevin...

[Kashie]

The only problem with getting expectations for good poker is,
most of the time POKER is boring, especially when you can't edit it.
Friday is usually entertaining.

[detroitplayer]

I am again having problems with the video. So annoying.

[potjohnny]

did you see the back cover of the new cardplayer with with Shirley. Man she is hot, I wonder if anyone is banging her. Anyone know?

[littledave]

He didn't read the thread? Denny! How can you even respond to the question if you don't even care enough to read the thread?

[Kevmath]

Are you watching from the browser, or from WMP?

Kevin...

[Eurotrash]

Haha, you don't hold any bars??

Maybe you don't "pull any punches" /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[mostsmooth]

i think youre a tool, and you know nothing about poker
ok im kidding, youre not a tool

[detroitplayer]

I was watching from WMP, I moved to the player and it is working better.

Which seat is El Diablo?

[Kevmath]

Denny,

From Russ Mcginley's post in the thread in question:

[ QUOTE ]
She raised all-in and Moe had 69o and said (audibly) "I have your favorite hand", to which she replied "6-9?" Then he showed it and they both laughed. Denny said (If I recall) "She likes six-nine." Bart then snickered and I believe said something like "I'm not gonna touch that one." I don't recall anything else being said about it.

Kevin...

[Kashie]

Bart,

I asked you why, in a thread a few weeks ago, why you stopped making comments here on 2+2 after the show.
Please continue doing so when you have the time!

Not the ElD from 2+2.

[Russ McGinley]

Bart, I read your post-show comments. If you are looking for responses about the play, you are unlikely to get them as this forum isn't the proper forum for discussing hands. If you want to talk about what Daniel Negreanu had for lunch yesterday, you're in the right place.

[Kevmath]

Like Bart mentioned, it does help to describe the hand in question. Usually when the show's over, interest in the thread seems to go down until the next show starts.

Kevin...

[mostsmooth]

8 seat tipped off his hand
seat 9 was ready to call

[Kashie]

That's true Russ, But I like reading his comments, and a few people answered him as well.
Although some of their comments were not particularly kind.

[etizzle]

what so is that our el diablo in the 9 seat?

To tell you the truth I think the thread about last night was http://img77.echo.cx/img77/4056/bs8ec.gif

[dabigbadrook]

I thought they said that phones and stuff like that werent allowed to protect the "integrity" of the game. Why does seat 5 have a cell phone? That whole speech and guy 5 has a cell phone

No Offense but Its on 5 min delay,
How stupid can you get ??

You guys kill me!

[potjohnny]

Bart- who is banging shirley. i heard you mention my post, now you need to tell me if she has a boyfriend.

[dabigbadrook]

I heard about the 5 min delay. Im not saying 5 is using the phone. The point is the announcer went on and on about the integrity of himself and the game. In his speech, he included the fact that no electronic devices are aloud. Not 10 minutes later, boom I see a cell phone. I do realize the 5 min delay negates it, just thought it was funny after all the hub bub that I see the phone.

You need to be at least 12 years old to post at 2+2.

Thanks for responding so directly to the note I sent you guys.

A few things:

Bart does a great job and I have no quarrel with any of the analysis during the hands, however critical. That's why people play and we watch.

The 6 9 thing has been blown out of proportion. Apparently SHE made some comment herself that he picked up on. All I heard was Denny saying it was probably her favorite hand. I wasn't offended, just surprised that the talk would be so rough when the point is to make everyone feel welcome.

The only REAL question I had regarded the decision to raise the blinds ahead of schedule. I still can't understand why the short stack would be treated that way. Question her play? Sure. Dbl her blinds? No fair.

How do dealer tokes work at The Bike? Are they pooled, is the "Live at the Bike" table set up differently from the tables in the main room. Just curious. Thanks guys.

With that rag flop and the queen coming on the turn, Dr.BB gets the other caller to fold. Why give the other player that much information by showing the hand? Being that Dr. BB is such a tight player, let the guy wonder what he had instead of giving anything away for free.

They are tipped by the winner of each hand played usually a buck or 2 or more!

[quarkncover]

I guess I should have been more specific guys, at my B&M there is a tokebox next to the table, and dealers take this from table to table, it looks as though the at the bike, each dealer carries that big honking tray of chips in front of them from table to table. Just wondering if dealer tokes are pooled at the bike like in AC.

[bugstud]

kevin, you may want to post all the operative links in these threads for those that don't have it boomarked, or whatever.

[/ QUOTE ]

In AC if a dealer is taking his tokes with him, they are not pooled. They are that dealer's alone. The big 3 (Borg, Taj, Trop) operate like this. Harrah's poker dealers used to pool theirs, but I haven't been there in a while, so that may have changed.

Re: Jonas

He did PM me last week asking about Gore's progress last week. Maybe he's playing in Vegas?

I agree, the problem is I keep forgetting to post where you can watch the show for those that don't want to watch within the browser. http://216.53.204.10/bike/bike_300.asx

Denny,

You never did talk about your 2nd in last Friday's limit holdem. How did you manage to pull that off?

Many many suckouts and probably 25 coinflip wins I'd imagine.

[Jive Dadson]

Gore really needs to find a different hobby.

[quarkncover]

It looks to me like Jillette (spelling???) is going like broomcorn's uncle. My question is: Do rocks like Jilette show a consistent profit in the larger NL games, you had mentioned before that with in a NL game with deep stacks you really need to mix it up, I haven't seen Jilette play a hand yet! Thanks for the feedback.

Oooo. He's read Super System.

always +EV when you're straddling Jillete's BB /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[tomdemaine]

If anyone wants the over/under on how many times the commentater will say "and look at that" or "and look at this" I'll set it at 200.

Straddling her BB? Go back to the Broomcorn thing.

Re: Cash games vs shootouts

Cash games and it isn't close. In actuality, this 1000 NL game is pretty boring because there haven't been any Francisco's in it for months.

[shadow1]

Anyone know the name of the book on no-limit restricted buy-in cash games that one of the guys wrote? I think it was Bart and maybe someone else. Any idea where to buy it?
thanks a lot

[/ QUOTE ]This is a Joke right? Posted right under Russ McGinnleys post. Let Russ answer that.

[Russ McGinley]

You can usually buy it out of the author's trunk.

[Kevmath]

Mike in the 4 seat may kick this game into high gear, and create huge pots, including running the turn/river multiple times.

Kevin...

[funkyworms]

he wasn't double gutted. he had 64 on a K973 board. looks like a gutshot to me.

[shadow1]

I found out the name of the book. I am guessing it isnt available at Amazon yet???..lol

[Jive Dadson]

Great bluff, Gore. The whole table called him.

[whalekock]

That is not a Cane. It is a Pimp Stick.

[Jive Dadson]

Who is the other announcer guy, and why do we care what he thinks of the plays?

[Russ McGinley]

Uh oh, looks Isaac tripped over the main cable and killed the show.

[Photoc]

Just lost my connection too. I dont think I've ever seen it even rebuffer in months.

[Gator519]

What is the box thingy with chips in it? Never played at the bike..

[Russ McGinley]

It is a security box to keep chips (sometimes a pack of cigarettes) on the table reserved for a player who is not at the table, but allows for someone else to play in the vacant seat while the original player is off doing something else.

[Gator519]

Cool.. Thanks for the info..

Ive watched this show a couple times and tonight just seems like it the slowest game ever.

[Jive Dadson]

Give up Bart. If Scott doesn't understand that it doesn't matter whether you always reshuffle or never reshuffle when "running them" two or more times, you're not likely to be able to explain it to him.

[Russ McGinley]

Nice slowplay.

[Kevmath]

Expect more of those pearls of wisdom from Scott since he's going to be on more often with Bart being away for two weeks after tomorrow night.

Kevin...

[Russ McGinley]

I love it when Bart gets super excited on rivers that don't change anything.
