"Official" Live at the Bike thread (7/1)

[Kevmath]

According to the schedule, tonight will be either a 500 or 1000 min buyin/no max NL game. The action in this game sometimes is worth seeing, especially with a bunch of loose players in the game. Tonight's commentators look to be Denny, Scott Gross (who was alright in his solo performance last night), and "Terry the Mailman".

I have found the following link for video files of the whammies. http://gscentral.net/media.htm I think it would be so funny that when a person sucks out and busts another player on the broadcast for the whammy to appear on the screen.

[VeryTnA]

Problem at The Bike's Poker site. No one can sign up for tourmanents / games.

Can someone help?

[dabigbadrook]

Do certain players have their places reserved? Say if Yulette or Dr. BB or Gore wants to play do they get in automatically or is there a wait list (first come first serve)?

[Kevmath]

Try sending an email to freegaming@thebike.com and see if that helps.

Kevin...

[VeryTnA]

Thanks
I sent them an email.

BTW....I really enjoy Live At The Bike. Keep up the good work!!!

[jackdaniels]

Does anyone know what the chip counts are?

okay, tonight's commentary blows.

[dabigbadrook]

Now how perfect would it have been to hear the whammy sound when El Diablo had to muck the King high flush. With so many chips now, Hollywood should put on a show for us.

[Kevmath]

They did the chip counts, but unfortunately the commentary didn't exactly stimulate me enough to actually listen.

So does the play on the table, they're both sleep inducing.

Kevin...

[luckykitty77]

what limits are they playing? sorry I just logged on.

[Kevmath]

I think it's 5/10 blinds NL, 500 min buyin? They used to have a box along the top to at least give the blinds, but haven't done it recently.

This is one of those nights when table talk only would've been a great idea.

Is that the 2+2 El Diablo? /images/graemlins/confused.gif

[Sean D]

Commentators keep saying how boring it is, so why would we want to watch.

[Kevmath]

It's a totally different El Diablo.

It's hard to sell dull play, like I said last week, throw in a best of L@TB.

I couldn't agree more.

[Kevmath]

I think it's time to say, "Punch out, Maverick". It'd make everything so much easier for the viewer. Denny makes it closer to listenable, but it's a long 80 minutes away.

Kevin...

[funkyworms]

Who is this announcing with you tonight, Russ?

[Kevmath]

Terry "Not Russell" Crowe.

Kevin...

[jackdaniels]

Damn! Just walked back in to the room to hear the tail end of the chip count /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Anyone catch it and wanna post it out?

TIA

[Kashie]

Sorry to say this show is hurting!
I used to be a regular, but lately it blows.

I guess Poker just is Boring!

You sure about his name kevin?

[Russ McGinley]

I just tuned in. Russell Fox as the lead announcer is a morbidly bad idea. And by morbidly, I mean these two are capable of killing anyone who listens for too long. Sad I missed Jana, I brought it up just as Fox was saying she was leaving.

[Kevmath]

It's not the L@TB's Jana. And I have to agree, Russ knows his poker, but it's two analysts doing poker and making it as unexciting as possible. The play on the table sucks, which doesn't help matters, but the regular announcers can at least get something out of it.

Denny will be in studio in about an hour, he does try hard but there's really only so much you can do.

I don't mind Russell Fox, but the other guy made me turn off my headphones.

[luckykitty77]

person to el diablo's left is a jerk, yes its 2 cards to win but its certainly not his job to flip over another players cards. He should have just told him.

Oh. Too bad. Yeah, I agree, Russ knows his poker but he is not Jerry Seinfeld out there. I've yet to hear your boy Terry say anything useful, either. This isn't the first boring night but these guys sound like they are asleep.

Yeah, give people an excuse NOT to read your writing, that makes sense.

Kevin...

[FlashFunk]

This is my second night watching with last night being the first.

I thought the solo announcer last night was awesome how he told it how it was and basically berated the players crappy plays.

The announcers tonight aren't too bad but maybe a little boring. This is most likely because of the insanely slow table.

Having never played live poker in a casino (online only), I'm definately liking the show. Its nice to see every hand, not just the edited TV versions. It also suprises me that the players are not as good as I would have expected at this level.

[scott8]

This announcer trying to explain image and "re-raising" when there was only one bet is hilarious.

[FlashFunk]

One complaint I can think of is that during the table talk portion they need to turn the mics up more. Its hard to hear anything that is being said.

[ASUscott]

How fair is it for Mo to play now that he's been watching in the booth? I thought that was not allowed.

[Kevmath]

Was Mo in the booth tonight? I know he wasn't the first 2.5 hours, but the play/commentary's been so boring I really haven't paid attention. I hope the Bike would do the right thing, and consider airing "best of" programming. I'd rather watch that instead of this garbage.

Kevin...

[Kevmath]

Gee can you get any more tight-lipped about things?

Can't talk about where he writes for, can't talk about who he was playing poker with, why bother saying anything?

Kevin...

[sleech]

H Amy, sorry to here about your bad luck at WSOP. Did you happen to come across a Xerox Sales lady who played but I cna't remember her name but I know she play in the ladies?

[sleech]

Oh Yeah! Show me!

[Gator519]

okay.. take the camera off the table and put it on the broadcast booth!

[whalekock]

Does she have silver dollars?

[Kevmath]

McGinley couldn't say anything in the booth, but these two dopes get airtime. There's no justice in this world.

Kevin...

[sleech]

Boring game, but funny commentary!!!!

[whalekock]

Couldn't they easily get a member of OG commentators to do this from Vegas? Or at least pull one of the many homeless people off the streets of Bell Gardens to do commentary.

[jojobinks]

eh...mostly just boring.

[sleech]

There you go again talking about Amy's chest again!

[sleech]

Ouch!

[Jive Dadson]

It's a proven fact: One announcer -- okay. Two announcers -- blather, blather, blather.

[whalekock]

Can we find Amy's work at Tower Records?

[Kevmath]

When Scott was alone last night after table talk, it went better than expected. Terry/Amy is just bad, it's two people who're trying to be cute and silly, and failing on both counts. Only 5 more days of this and there'll be some real announcers back in the booth, I'm anxiously counting down the hours.

Kevin...

[whalekock]

It sounds alot like G4 tv meets Live@thebike. Attack of the Bike.

[Jive Dadson]

Is this the Terry who was on a few nights ago? I rather doubted he would be back. If nothing else, you have to admire his nerve. I guess.

[Jive Dadson]

No Terry, YOU can hear what Moe's saying. WE can't because they turn the announcers' mikes up too high and the announcers never shut up.

[Kevmath]

Unfortunately, I guess there's no one else who can do it. If it's Terry/Amy again tomorrow (like was mentioned), I may have to skip the show because it'll certainly be unlistenable.

I bet Terry hangs out in front of Middle schools to pick up chicks.

I'm glad I went to bed during table talk from the looks of things.
