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

[Kevmath]

Tonight's show is expected to be the regular 5/10 or 10/20 NL game, hopefully filled with characters like Jesus, Diablo the plumber, Cooperation Mike and other aggressive players. Last night's game was rather peculiar as some other guy named Mike went on a chip rollercoaster, playing 90% of the hands as his chip stack yoyoed throughout the show. Others who watched last night can describe the mayhem that ensued better than me. As always, check out www.liveatthebike.com (http://www.liveatthebike.com) to follow the action from 9pm-1am Eastern.

[cwsiggy]

Last night was one of the funniest displays of poker I have ever seen. This guy Mike played any two cards and hit everything for a while. The swings in his stack were huge.
He made Corporation Mike look Like Barry Greenstein.

Congrats to Barry Greenstein's son, Joe. He won 13K in the WCOOP #5

[cwsiggy]

I'll assume he was "fidallio" ???

Yes.

Bart, do you play stud 8 on Party under LiveBikeBart?

table texture slightly "different tonight"

[Russ McGinley]

Is his nickname "Cooperation Mike" or "Corporation Mike"? I always thought the latter but Bart's Bah-ston accent might have thrown me.

TJ Cloutier played pro football in Canada.

Erick Lindgren was all-state in California in FB and BKB.

[Kevmath]

I've used Cooperation Mike only because when looking at rules for the California games, there is mention of a "cooperation", which is what Mike does in the blackjack games.

For those that don't read Cardplayer, Scott Fischman suffers from rheumatoid arthritis.

[cwsiggy]

I think it is a Corporation.

[cwsiggy]

I think Bebe is still stunned from Ron Rose's call and decided to stop playing aggressive poker (not that he was very aggressive, but the last time he was trying something different.)

[xixel]

*ahem* I'm a proud Canadian, watch frequently... I WAS going to buy a subscription!! HRMM maybe not now bart! /images/graemlins/wink.gif just kiddin, CANT WAIT FOR HOCKEY! I've got tickets for the first Toronto game, against ottawa.. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Russ McGinley]

BART -

Did you watch Agassi/Blake? Instant classic.

[cwsiggy]

I really hope Agassi wins it.

This (http://wizardofodds.com/californiablackjack) is where I got the word "cooperation" from, I'll defer to those that are actually in the casino itself as to what it's really called.

Yeah, there are a lot of comparisons to Agassi's run this year with Jimmy Connors' run in 1991. I hope he doesn't sputter out against Ginepri in the semis.

Why no response?

According to that the chat at a table I'm watching, Barry Greenstein is playing in WCOOP #6 as crazyplayer.

[flatline]

Top spin is a great tennis game for xbox and ps2.

[stu-unger]

top spin is a pretty cool tennis game for x box

More train of thought ranting on your likes and dislikes please...
Bart i notice you americans use the word Dirt for everything ranging from earth to clay...the tennis courts are clay tho, not dirt!!!
Also , do the two of you think you could beat this game if you had the bank roll?

[Quicksilvre]

American tennis fans say "clay." These guys say "dirt" because they don't know enough tennis.

http://www.miniclip.com/tennisace.htm there's a great tennis game you can play while commentating.

[Scott_Baio]

bit of a thread jack, but did anyone see Federer beating Santoro in straight sets? I thought that was the most entertaining match so far in the open. Seriously.

[cwsiggy]

I'm dissapointed we won't be seeing the Russian hotties in the final.

Mary Pierce looks good if you don't have to look at her face. Kim Clijsters is of course a man.

[cwsiggy]

Paddle tennis is great to play in the winter. The court is in a cage and heated so it melts the snow.

i love that FROLF came up in conversation on the show.

[tomdemaine]

frolf Jerry! frisbee golf!

[Jive Dadson]

I think I heard one of the players say, "I have the best nuts." (Have I ever mentioned that I would like to hear what the players say?)

[Kevmath]

I may have been away if this was discussed, but when does L@TB make it's debut on The Poker Channel in the UK?

[Russ McGinley]

Quit trying to hijack this tennis thread.

[cwsiggy]

Sean Astin was Sam


edit: or Samwise Gamgee I think was his full name

Otherwise known as Frodo's gay gardener. I did like the movies though.

[Jive Dadson]

Dave, you answered your own question. If BB was on a draw, the $100 bet on the end would have won the pot. We can see BB's cards. The players can't.

[Jive Dadson]

Marketing idea: Bart and Dave Brand Prayer handkerchiefs. They'll need a slogan.

[cwsiggy]

I read 4 pages of Baldwin's Omaha H/l section and I'm cleaning up at the play money tables - lol /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think I likey this game

[Kevmath]

I don't think it takes that much skill to clean up at a play money table. Now if you move up to the 2/4 cent tables and r00l there, you're on to something.

[cwsiggy]

Well I realize that, but I am new to the game. All I know is play A23, etc, any nut doublesuited, blah blah.

Next step, Full Tilt 1000/2000

[cwsiggy]

I agree, play money is just to get the knack down. I'm ready for the .02/.04 at Omaha h/l now!

[Kevmath]

I'd think playing the big freerolls on Stars would be better practice. Yes the play usually is bad the first hour, and you're not really playing for much, but it is good practice. Stars has improved their freerolls by giving the final 3 tables seats into a now $1000 tournament every Sunday.

[cwsiggy]

Yeah but I'm looking to learn cash game Omaha h/l - Not sure if I need the escalating blinds and tourney structure to mess me up in a new game I'm learning.

I'm just a little bored with limit hold'em - though I love B&M limit.

[dontcrack]

IMO, Mo should have bet the turn when he his his Ace. There are a lot of cards than can come on the river to beat him.

I think if it were a different player making that move, Bart and David would have disagreed with the play.

[Kevmath]

Why would anyone want to use Card Player's calculator when there's websites like twodimes.net out there?

[Russ McGinley]

Because Bart is not a techie.

I wish one of the sites offered play money 7-card ball.

[flatline]

Since when do they have 5-card draw on UltimateBet?

[cwsiggy]

I think UB has deuce to 7 lowball and ace to 5 - play money.

They do, but what's his name said he was playing 5-card high on there.

[cwsiggy]

I also want ot learn Badugi and Chinese Poker. Then again, I've heard the swings are huge in both of those.
Anyone know a site that explains Chinese Poker - yes - I could google I suppose.

[Rakkad]

I think he is talking about the hand where he had A8o, and flop was T8x turn A.

[Russ McGinley]

Here we go...

[cwsiggy]

If you guys want a laugh...

I'm listening to Neverwinpoker radio. lol -
Bunch of guys busting on Lon and Norm,
Dan Druff is trying to explain his jacket twirl.

lots of f-bombs. It's like the Wayne's World of poker.

[Jive Dadson]

Five draw was often played with a bug - a joker that counts as an ace, or as a wild card to make a straight, flush, or straight flush.

[Kevmath]

Maybe Bart played Draw high over at Paradise.

[Russ McGinley]

Has Dan Druff come clean about his multitude of fake 2+2 accounts he made supporting his awesome twirling technique?

[cwsiggy]

I remember Greg Raymer was playing badugi in a 300/600 mixed with Forrest and company at the WSOP this year (cardplayer vid) and they had to call it 4 card rainbow cause it's not allowed in Vegas.

I only listened for a while - only so much a person can take. Someone called in and asked what a "donk" is. that's when I stopped - plus I want to see The Bike!!

Speaking of old folks...

This real old guy goes into a confessional.

He says to the priest, "I'm 92 years old. I have a wonderful wife of 70 years,
five children, twelve granchildren, and four great-grandchildren that I adore."

"Yes, my son?"

"Yesterday I picked up two college girls hitch hiking. We went to a motel, and
I had sex with both of them -- twice."

The priest says, "My son, do you regret your sins?"

The old guy says, "What sins?"

The priest says, "What do you mean, what sins? What kind of Catholic are you?"

The old guy says, "I'm Jewish."

The priest says, "Then why are you telling me this?"

The old guy says, "I'm telling everybody."

[cwsiggy]

Ivey once paid to have a massage for an entire day during a tourney. Still a good deal at $1 a minute.

[scrapperdog]

Umm Alan asked Ed if he had a pair. Ed said yes. Alan with a king would have a strong no-pair because an ace flopped. Why did Ed lie? He did not have a pair, he had 3 of a kind. He could have truthfully told Alan he did not have a pair.

[Jive Dadson]

Who knew David has a relationship with Alan?

When you have three of a kind, you have three pairs.

Hey everyone, thanks for watching.

Kind of slow tonight - just not too many real exciting hands...What can you do?

As for myself, I was a little bit low energy - stayed up too late playing poker and madden '06.

Tomorrow night will be better - I promise.

What do you guys think about a commentator's game?

any questions or thoughts? feel free to send me a private message.

[flatline]

A commentator's game would be cool; you could have the degenerates that normally play be the announcers and have them criticize you guys.

[Kevmath]

There seems to be a thought among some commentators (like Shirley), that it'd be really boring because the play would be really tight and boring.

Tonight's show was pretty dull, but with the move to a 3 hour show, it does help eliminate the dull spots that happen in most shows, usually towards the end of the program.
