"Official" Live at the Bike thread (9/8)

[Kevmath]

Tonight's show probably will be a $200 min/max game, a far cry from last night's "Whale Game" of 300/600 limit. Hopefully that show (and last week's game) will be in the archives soon, as there seems to be quite an interest in both games, especially with Barry Greenstein providing excellent commentary. As usual, head over to www.liveatthebike.com (http://www.liveatthebike.com) to view the webcast.

[littledave]

Ok Bart, yes you changed your shirt. Now get some sunshine, you need some color bad! It's summertime! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Dunno]

Sad call... sad hand but fun to see /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Kevmath]

Isn't that what everyone with AA wants to have happen to them with a board like that?

These must be some great lights, they only make Bart look pale.

[Kevmath]

I made a post in the high-limit holdem section letting them know of the 300/600 game last night, and there were some comments that some of the players would NOT be playing the way they did last night if they weren't being broadcast. Do you think that's true?

[Russ McGinley]

POKERBLUE UPDATE:

The Pokertropolis bots also inhabit the Pokerblue software. No way I was playing against humans today.

[Kevmath]

Does that mean you lost money?

Did you get your 4 hours of 1/2 in, and if so did it take up all of your computer's resources?

[Russ McGinley]

No, but here is one hand in question (as best as I can recreate it)

Pokerblue $1/$2

Hero is on the button with JJ
UTG limps, 3 folds, MP3 limps, 1 fold, Hero raises, SB calls, BB 3-bets, UTG calls, MP3 calls, Hero caps, all call.

Flop: 5-5-2

Checked to hero who bets. ALL VILLAINS CALL.

Turn: 7

Checked to hero who bets. ALL VILLAINS CALL.

River: 7

SB bets, ALL VILLAINS CALL to hero who laughingly overcalls.

SB shows 97o
BB shows AA
UTG shows KQ
MP3 shows J9

I think I'm around 2 hours.

[Quicksilvre]

Ahhh, it's been too long.

Media Player looks really tiny when you use a 1400x1050 screen.

[tacklebox]

Bart don't read this...

I'd rather have the Bombshell Models sit there and look half-interested than the PokerBlue girls they dig up each week.

[tereg]

So, Mike checks the turn with two pair after TELLING Seat 2 "I have to call, I have you beat" on the flop...

Hmm...

So, basically, he's thinking "I have you beat, but I'm not going to try to put any money in the pot"

Ok, I think I get it.

[Russ McGinley]

Mike is the goofy white Jesus

[VeryTnA]

A live straddle is an optional VOLUNTARY "blind" bet.

[cwsiggy]

Please tell me Mike is actually good and is just "fooling around" ?????? If not, man, he is the worst!!!!!

[cwsiggy]

On another note, 2+2er Shaniac is still in the WCOOP event #5
with 100k in chips. 44th place. huge prize pool for a 200 event due to rebuys.

I can't imagine Mike is anything but a massive donkey. Unless he's playing blind.

[Sykes]

Where do I go to update windows media player? Video is not working for me. It's going on and off.

WHICH casino in Nor Cal did you play at Shirley??

[chucksim]

Bart, in the AK v 3-5 hand, twodimes says the 3-5 was about a 63-37 favorite.

[cwsiggy]

lol - the worst player takes another. Reminds me of Fred dragging pot after pot against Ted Forrest, Dave Oppenheim etc.

[Kevmath]

In WMP, Help/Check for player updates

Shirley played at Cache Creek...it was on her blog

Been playing Pokertropolis also. If they are bots they are some of the most predictable bots ever. Take advantage of it. Also on every freakin' pokertropolis table there is some guy(maybe a bot) who keeps on typing in "sweet" and nothing else, it's just bothersome.

[cwsiggy]

Keep playing A2 and they'll both be broke soon.

Sweet....

[Russ McGinley]

WTF? All-in with 73o? Where do these idiots come from?

[cwsiggy]

That was not the "wrong time" to bluff, that was just wrong.

[Kevmath]

That's what them frat boys deserve, playing [censored] like that.

Bart, Shirley...

How tough is it to get into the Live@Bike game in terms of typical waiting list??? Next time in LA, what time do I need to show up in order to be assured of sitting in the game?

[Russ McGinley]

On what planet is 75-25 equal to 2-1?

[cwsiggy]

He got it finally.

As everyone should.

You can usually be assured of a seat if you're there an hour before showtime. Even if you show up when the game's already going, not too much trouble getting in, maybe an average half hour wait.

[whalekock]

I bet mike use to copy from nerds during class in high school, then beat them up later.

[cwsiggy]

Shirley, I was kinda joking, but Noah and Marcel Luske and a few other apparentlyplay out of Marcel's office with 4 accounts on Stars they share. Lee Jones on Stars addressed this fact and said in their opinion there is no problem, though if they ever were on the same table it could be. Also, Noah I think admitted that sometimes they "take over" for each other when one has to go somewhere. My post is again a playful joke. Gank (Brett Jungblutt) lost his chat over complaints about those guys - someone correct me if I'm way off.

[drewjustdrew]

Bart, Shirley,

El capitano is rumored to be Marcel Luske. don't know how true that is.
There was a post a couple weeks ago that Marcel let Noah use his account, but it was just rumour as far as I could tell.

[cwsiggy]

link to Stars letter to Gank - Brett was complaining about one of them taking over for the other guy. It does go against the one hand one player rule, but Stars admitted there is nothing they can do about that. Actually, in that case it was El Cap and Who is Next (another player sharing accounts)

[cwsiggy]

OMG - Mike with Mt. Chipmore. lol
No limit is funny.

[Jive Dadson]

I got here late - just in time to hear (!) my favorite tell: The guy says exactly what he has. I think what's happening there is that the guy thinks no one will believe he's telling the truth, and he will look oh-so-cool when it turns out he was telling the truth. I've seen (heard) that one a skillion times. Igits.

[Jive Dadson]

This is so cool. When the announcers pause for breath, I can hear what the players are saying.

[Kevmath]

You were mentioned earlier in the show Jive, be happy about that.

Today's 200/rebuy had over 2100 players with a $1m+ prize pool.

[Jive Dadson]

Tonight's pronoun lesson: People are "who"s. Things are "that"s.

[Russ McGinley]

They were asking about your no-limit five-card draw games from the 1930's.

[cwsiggy]

Bart and Shirley, what book can I read bout Omaha h/l and SStud h/l?? I'm assuming Ray Zee's book eh?? (for Omaha) I'm a beginner in those though.

[Nathan_2]

Supersystem 2 has good chapters on stud hi/lo and omaha 8

[cwsiggy]

I am speechless about Mike.

True confession time. It was the 80's. (1980's, to be exact.) Then hold'em reared its shrouded head. The round tables were replaced with those god-awful long ones. The center dealers moved in like a swarm of locusts, and life ended, as we knew it. Sob.

[Russ McGinley]

73o is back to donk away more money.

[Jive Dadson]

There is a big front-runner in the Maroon of the Night contest!

[whalekock]

Was bart talking to us about his dream or the invisble person next to him?

[Sykes]

Bart, would you ever stake someone to play in these types of games?

I'll run a 75/25 with you /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Russ McGinley]

I think he was talking to you. He said "Whalecock, let me tell you about this dream...."

[Russ McGinley]

Whoa, Bart you are 25? Man I didn't think I was older than you.

[cwsiggy]

lol - People dropping dead on the Stud H'L table. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
I've got to learn that game.

[whalekock]

Bart, have you ever played at a table where you had two players with oxegen tanks?

[Jive Dadson]

It's been over 30 years since I played high/low. Deuce to seven with a declare. It was pretty sick.

[Jive Dadson]

I've toyed with the idea of playing some hi/lo at Garden City. Then I snap out of it.

[Jive Dadson]

I just learned something I didn't know. Did you know the French Army Knife is all cork screws?

I've seen a player so old, he brought his nurse(caretaker) to the poker room. The nurse pushed in his bets and stacked his chips. The guy had to be at least a 100.

[Russ McGinley]

There are several of those guys here in Jax.

[MoneyFunnel]

How does the staff feel about getting chips THROWN to them? I have seen this elsewhere and always thought it wasn't cool.

The Maroon of the Night contest might prove closer than anticipated.

Greg Raymer in 35th place with 80+ left on Stars tourney.
1st place is 218k.

[Kevmath]

Bart's a little anxious, 5000 people for a $2500 online tourney? Stars has a 2.5m guarantee, I'll say they get about 1250.

I hope vegas is this good in 3 days....This is godawful

[whalekock]

Did I just see a High Five. He did the same thing after he beat up nerds in high school.

[jakeinsanjose]

please increase the font size of chair position and names. thanks.

[boondockst]

Nevermind....I'd high-five a guy after every hand if he kept chip spewing like this It's funny someone suggested earlier in this thread that "mike" is a higher limit player screwing around

[boondockst]

Struggling to tell a lady what "annal" is....(or thinking of making a poor joke?) classic.

[Jive Dadson]

I'm not ragging on you, Bart. Barry had something very important to tell you. Do you remember how he buttered you up before he said what he did? People only do that when they want to help you, but they are afraid they might give offense. Live poker is as much about getting into your opponent's head as it is about the cards, or playing correctly. When Barry was commentating, he almost NEVER said a play was bad. What he was always doing was figuring out what thought processes the players were going through. It is habitual with him.

[whalekock]

Seat 7:Goose
Seat 8:Mavrick
With gay undertones

[boondockst]

Best answer for what "Mike" got up for the table for wins.

[boondockst]

My vote's for "he used the payphone to tell his buddies living with their parents that he's crushing the 'big game'"

[MoneyFunnel]

Can you get seat 2 to yell "I'm all out!" a few more times? It's getting close to being funny.

[jakeinsanjose]

is this this the strangest table in the history of live@ the bike?

[cwsiggy]

Fossilman is 23rd place with 60 left.

Annie Duke making an appearance on Celebrity Poker Showdown. Phil Gordon introduced her as "The best woman poker player in the world"

Shaniac & Fossilman at the same table.

[whalekock]

It's just gay overtones now.

Shaniac out in 58th

[cwsiggy]

This table is hysterical. I just booked my flight to LA.

[Vasquez]

are these guys the siegfried and roy of Live at the bike?

[cwsiggy]

F-bomb!! Nice

[whalekock]

Remember they do have LA Weeklys at the bike. I bet Mike is looking through the personals.

[Jive Dadson]

This is not quite as strange as a game I played in about a year ago. There were three guys in the game who said they were Turkish freedom fighters, and two more TFF's sweating them, animatedly asking them questions in, well, Turkish, I guess. All were drinking long neck Buds, and having a most excellent experience in the Land of Opportunity.

[Vasquez]

Its a guy thing shirley. Guys dont like to be called cowards ego thing

[Jay845]

I also think Harthgosh is tied in with those guys as well...currently 37th out of 50

"It's called a bluff."

bummer - from his chat box.


FossilMan said, "probably not going to be any more active on 2+2 for a while"

[cwsiggy]

Mike's about to bust......

[wheelz]

I just paid to get the archives, would someone be kind enough to tell me what nights barry did commentary?

[cwsiggy]

Last night he did limit - good game with Ted Forrest, Mimi Tran, Dave Oppenheim, Tim Phan - and I think it was like 2 weeks or so ago for no limit.

[Kevmath]

Barry's two shows where he did a lot of commentary were 8/31 and 9/7. Those shows aren't available yet, but should be up by this weekend. Barry made another apperance during Legends, which also included a brief interview with Doyle Brunson.
