"Official" Live at the Bike thread (7/23)

[Kevmath]

Tonight is scheduled to be their $200 min/max NL game with 3/5 blinds. Last night's big money game had some nice players in it, including the guy know as Jesus who went from 7k to 1k and back up to about 3500 in a few short hours. If the "pink chips" are brought back into it, it should have lots of action even if the pots are much smaller.

Kevin...

Nobody fu<font color="black"></font>cks with The Jesus!

Jesus reminds me of some of the tourists I ran into on the 1/2 nl games at the Borgata 2 weeks ago.....

No pink chips tonight?

Chair #4 still has the holy spirit in it.

Hi everybody, good to see you Bart and Friar!!
I really mean see you.
Nice camera work!

[Russ McGinley]

That's quite a sh<font color="black"></font>it-eating grin seat 4 is wearing.

[whalekock]

Art made the smartest move on Live, ever.

[Russ McGinley]

Gotta love it when the biggest action player leaves less than an hour into the show.

Nice raise by seat 9. "Make it $80". I wonder if he realizes what the blinds are in this game.

[whalekock]

Seat 9, Jason. With that black shirt it looks like his head is floating in space. Also he looks like Private Pyle from "Full Metal Jacket".

[Russ McGinley]

Wow this putz in seat 9 watches too much WPT.

[Needle77]

No kidding, JESUS!!!, where are you? Wish someone would lose their head and just go crazy.

[Angrymoog]

I see this guy folding tons of hands, showing them, but he never seems to make moves on pots to take advantage of his image. And then he makes ridiculous overbets that noone will call.

[whalekock]

It can't be legal to give seat 9 more sugar.

I love hearing the 2+2 shoutouts /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Russ McGinley]

Private Pyle is gone! Good to see his replacement doesn't know what to do. N00B ALERT

[Needle77]

Ah...not sure if I should be thankful for Jason leaving cause he did provide some entertainment,but at least that annoying voice is gone.

[whalekock]

Seat 9 is a Hustler. I like her "Oh I don't know what to do" Hustle.

[Russ McGinley]

She's wearing a WSOP shirt too. If it were a Party shirt I would definitely be wary.

Very rarely. Michael Davis, Garland, Daryn, and Geormiet are the only ones I can think of from California that have been on the show.

Of course I am the only Floridian 2+2er to have appeared, and based on my outcome, probably the last.

I don't know man, theres always quite a bit of fish at the table. But of course, there are always your players like francisco and jesus that just make you lose ur mind.

Ok, seat 9 just bluffed off all her chips with QJo. She is not a hustler.

It's just part of her game, the guys think she sucks and BAM, shes gonna get them...or maybe im just full of it. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Russ McGinley]

There's a prime example of why you should start not reraising with middle pocket pairs preflop. If she flat calls and moves in on the flop, he can't call. Instead she decides to make a miniraise and he goes all-in and gets to see all 5 cards.

[gr8vertical]

Worst table talk ever. /images/graemlins/mad.gif

[Russ McGinley]

Oh, its on table talk? I thought my speakers didn't work.

They should look into doing what they did on the Cardplayer broadcast and have like a rotating crew of 3-4 people and maybe some LATB regulars doing a little commentary for a few minutes. If Phil Hellmuth can last that long, so can Bart Hanson!

[graydot]

A rereaise with tj ?

Either he folds or calls u with a better hands, horrible


TJ vs 88(raiser utg pf)
2210, 88 bets out 30, tj calls, Q hits, 88 checks, 10 checks, ace hits, 88 bets 50, tj reraise to 100

[detroitplayer]

That hand between seat 9 and seat 5...... wow.

I loved the min-raise on the river by seat 9 when she had J-10 on a board of 22TQA. WOW.

In theory and in consideration of the people playing actually having some semblance of an understanding of the game.

True, I'm just commentating /images/graemlins/smile.gif I'm sure they would agree with me, as that bet is -ev

[detroitplayer]

Yeah... I was more so commentating on the woman making quite possibly the worst play she could have made in that position... and then getting paid off from it. Ha.

[Kevmath]

I'd agree on your point if it was a 5-6 hour show. But this is the worst example of having a segment of "table talk" ever. You might as well turn the camera on the casino floor, mike that and get more out of it. 30 minutes of complete silence won't help keep people watching.

I dunno but I dont really see that as a hard call... seemed it was around 98$ call into $100 pot, and with Top pair, seemed decent to me.

But seat 5 had balls with that all in move /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Russ McGinley]

Did she just pick up pocket aces again? RIGGED

[Needle77]

Now that seat 9 is about even, i see her taking over this table /images/graemlins/wink.gif. That or just donating all her chips back to Mark, as he's fallen apart in the holy seat 6.

[whalekock]

looks like the power of christ compels her.

[CrazyPsycho]

AA, KK, QQ. Rag flop. Nice.

[Russ McGinley]

Holy mother, AA v KK v QQ! When it gets boring during table talk I guess they break out the rigged deck.

[gr8vertical]

Aces vs kings vs queens

B&amp;M is rigged

[whalekock]

here we go.

[Russ McGinley]

Seat 9's gotta fold. It was reraised! Must be aces!

[Needle77]

Even the big hands are slow and boring....o well, just one of them nights.

Don't I look stupid now...haha.

[Russ McGinley]

Wow what a suckout! Nice 1-outer. Hehe, guy with pocket aces wins the $14 side pot, that's awesome.

Set: pocket pair in hand and 1 of your card on the board (Eg, 88, flop x8x)

Trips: 1 of the card in hand and 2 on boards (Eg JT, flop TTx)

Is it that hard?

[arvin]

Bart and Dave,
How are the archives organized? I would want to watch the pro's like raymer, jon hennigan, helmuth, etc. Could I easily find these more exciting shows? I'm trying to decide on canceling my porn subscription for the Live@Bike Archives. What do you suggest?

Could someone please post what just happened? I stepped away for a moment and came back to accustations of trickery.

[Needle77]

Has she won a showdown against JD tonight?

[graydot]

AQ vs 99 vs 66

99 leads all teh way on x33 , all 2 call, A hits, she bets but its decleared a check, we see a river A. she bets 140ish, AQ reraise all in and she cals with 99

[Russ McGinley]

[/ QUOTE ]

Seat 9 had 99. Seat 2 had 66. Seat 5 had AQo. Button was in seat 4.

On the turn with a board of 3-3-2-A, seat 5 checked, and seat 9 apparently put her hand out in a check-like motion but didn't make a check. It looked like she was just putting her arm down on the table. She then went into her stack and put out a bet, and then seat 2 started complaining and said she checked. The dealer didn't see what happened, and after consulting with the floorman, they decide that she checked. So seat 2 basically got himself a free card on the river.

[7n7]

Thanks!

Tell this announcer there is a HUGE difference between a set and trips, because, if you are the guy with trips, and I have the set, guess what ? I have a boat and your getting stacked.

What prevents someone from taking a wire and someone feeding them the live feed to cheat? Is the live play delayed or anything?

Why not make it a drinking tourney? Every pot you win, you take a shot. If you lose a hand at showdown, you take two shots. This idea has promise.

[Needle77]

I guess we have to thank that AA-KK-QQ hand for all this action. Seems to be the hand that sparked this table. And BTW, Russ, I completely agree with your idea for the commentator battle. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Russ McGinley]

Ok here are the official LATB Commentators Drinking Game Rules:

1. If you win any pot, you take a shot.
2. If you lose at showdown, you take a shot.
3. If you crack pocket aces, you take 3 shots.
4. If you fail to play at least one hand in a full orbit, you take 3 shots.
5. If you audibly misuse poker verbage (eg: trips vs set), you take 2 shots.
6. If you river the winning hand, you take one extra shot.
7. If you are female, you take 2 shots before the game starts.

Feel free to add on.

[Angrymoog]

8. Die of alchohol poisoning.

Thanks Bart for the usual good broadcast, and Dave, also very good. Been a good week for the commentators, didnt want u think it went by unappreciated. All I got to say is...Jesus must have worn out the magic of seat 6 cause poor mark couldnt last the whole night with the luck.
