"Official" Live at the Bike thread (12/20) (300-500 NL)

[Kevmath]

Tonight's show is the usual $300 min/$500 max buyin game with 5/5 blinds. For those who didn't make it thru last night's 8/16 limit game. The scheduled tournament with a $200 bounty on David Tuchman has been postponed until tomorrow night at 5pm PT. However, for those that want to listen to Bart and Shirley talk about poker, www.liveatthebike.com (http://www.liveatthebike.com) will have 3 hours of NL fun from 6-9pm PT. Still tentatively scheduled for tomorrow's 50/100 NL game is recent WPT final table participant Phil Laak.

[BarronVangorToth]

Go me and the first non-Kevmath post.

Here's to a killer show...

anyone having streaming problems?

Is anyone else having trouble viewing the broadcast? Mine is stopping every few seconds to buffer. And the video is mostly still. It's never done this to me before. I tried restarting it a few times, but no help.

[BarronVangorToth]

Sorry, fellas, but it's streaming just like normal for me...

Expect tomorrow to be a wild game. There should be a lot of different faces. For whatever reason some of the "regulars" had to be pushed aside for the newcomers.

I just wanted to know if there will ever be a 500-1000 game at live at the bike again.

There was a mention last week that Patrik Antonius MAY be in tomorrow's game as well. Is that taking place or is there going to be other newcomers in the game tomorrow?

[cwsiggy]

Just tuned in - How's Tuch doing? up or down?
never mind- looks like he's ok afer that pot. nh

Bart and Shirley
I really have noticed the bitchyness and jealousy shown to Tuchman is unreal.Bart i like your comentary but you seem so threatened by Dave its not even true.Your glee when Dave played bad the other week and your uncomfortableness now is so funny.
First you say... oh i dont think Dave is going to get involved in the call.....then Dave calls and you start talking like it was an easy call...like he was pot committed.Then Shirley agrees ..yea yea... logical call.
Whatever....Dave made a good call....if you guys are so good...ante up and lets see you play.
I hope you take this in the right way... i like the show ...but jesus give Dave some respect, and Bart dont be so threatened!!!!!!

Just tuned in, sup y'all>

Please fixy fixy the webcast...

[cwsiggy]

Well hi Barry - You going to play tomorrow with the Unabomber?
His poker mind is almost as big as Lederer's so watch out.

Funny I'm credited for being Barry.. LOL

SWEET!!!!!

I just talked to Yosh, I had text paged him earlier with no answer. Apparently the game is "filled", but he will put me first on the list. That pretty much translates to "dream on white boy"

Hey Kev, whats your online name at absolute
I play there as well...

[BarronVangorToth]

Bart and Shirley,

you guys are only allowed to play in the game as long as under no circumstances Denny ever commentates again.

What about that Barry Greenstein fella?

I think anyone would do fine in his position. These guys are just handing their money to him.

He doesn't have to work hard at this table to build his stack...

I thought Peter played better than that? The calls were horrendous. What did he put the guy on? Either raise or fold, but flat call all the way? Nice giveaway.

he did play better than that. Until he went on tilt.

[REL18]

I love how they insulted your post even though what u said is exactly accurate. not taking sides but noidea i think your right but there gonna ramble on about this, those who have nothing to say, really say nothing. I think its why there spending 5 minutes talking about this

[cwsiggy]

wow - just wow. Peter hates money.

aha - he's playing below his normal level - still a bad excuse.

[surfinillini]

Bdub, check your PM ...

Agree, Tuchman put him on full tilt.

Is it forsure that Lach will be here tomorrow???

[IronDragon1]

I don't get it-if they want cantankerous hi/lo split players who will frighten the audience they should've just hit me up.

[Russ McGinley]

This guy is actually the youngest stud player at The Bike.

Bart and Shirley
thanks for the reply, i really didnt mean to offend either of you. I really do like the show and just wanted to stick up for dave's play.To say i have no idea... is abit harsh, i just gave my honest impression of what was said...there was no real hidden agenda to slate you 2...i just thought the Aj call was a good read and good call, and wanted to say so.
thanks rel18 apreciate the post
thanks

[cwsiggy]

Would have been much better if he had the oxygen tank hooked up.

[Russ McGinley]

Yay I just won 1 Bike promo buck by winning a freeroll SNG. Worship me.

She will probably be working on her sitcom, which I have seen and she won't be working on it much longer.

Good game russ. I thought I played it well except for my 86 vs k9 hand. Good thing I already have a promo buck. See you tomorrow.

[Russ McGinley]

hey gg, heads up lasted a long time considering we lost 2 people on the first hand.

Yeah, I guess the problem with heads up is you never got cowboys for me to crack. But in freeroll sngs you can expect a few people to be out the first hand.

[Russ McGinley]

Actually I had KK, QQ, and JJ within a span of 4 hands there towards the end but they got little action.

If you had told me you had KK I would have pushed since I had already cracked KK twice. I guess one of those pocket pairs was the time I told you I had 44 on the AA2 board...

[surfinillini]

BART,


can you recommend any really classy strip joints around the bike for me?

I have a friend coming in from Japan (No he doesn't have a sister) and I need to take him to a classy joint after we lose all our money at the bike on Thursday...

[Russ McGinley]

Yes that hand I had KK. Didn't want to see 1 ace but 2 was a welcome sight.

surf, you playing in Thursday's game? My nephew is in from Chicago and we will be there too. I'll add your name to the list in the am if you want.

I wish I could,

I got a buddy from college coming in from Tokyo and we're going to donk off in some 4/8 or 6/12 and get wasted before we go out to the bars...

Don't know if we're coming to the bike, might goto the hustler, but if I do I'll definitely come by and say what's up.

I didn't ask Yosh who was playing but I bet they are BIG action players. He just told me he had one seat open but I gave it up. Goodluck getting a seat Barry. I am now starting to regret that I passed the seat up.

[spsurfin_Michael]

Hey all. I just got home from taking my mom shopping--she had a stroke and needs help getting around.

How is the game tonigh?

I hope your Mom gets well soon, Mike.
Tuch is having a good night.

Yosh rather have big names and the hype from these players, than my money, so I doubt I will get a seat. I will be there, but if no seat opens, find me at the 1K.

Our best for your Mom.

[Russ McGinley]

Nice reverse table coaching by Tuchman. "Bet more, I can't call!" Dave is such a snake in the grass.

[spsurfin_Michael]

Thanks guys. My mom has exceeded all the doctor’s expectations and is as good as she will get.

On the other hand, if you do not mind, please say a prayer for my friend Al. On the way to the game last night, I got a call from his wife who told me they had just found more tumors in his brain. He was diagnosed with brain cancer three years ago and had two operations to remove the tumors. He is going to need additional surgery and the prognosis is looking pretty bad.

Thanks to all,

Michael

Dave,

The word you are looking for is narcissistic. This is a psychiatric diagnosis of someone who is self centered and egotistical (this is the short version).

[cwsiggy]

I think Dave Tuchman wanted to be a hedge fund manager in another life.

Dave Mac,

Megalomania is typically seen as a mania for great or grandiose performance. It falls under delusional disorders that are manifested by infantile feelings of personal omnipotence and grandeur.

Isn't it "Don't play egocentric poker?"

[surfinillini]

What the [censored] is Garland doing?

You can't fold to a 3/4 pot bet in position on the turn?

Why would george bet so much with a Q ???

[cold_cash]

Can someone tell me the difference between simply 'calling' and 'smooth-calling'?

If I'm not mistaken, smoothcalling is when you call when you have a monster and want the other guy to catch up. Calling is just, well, calling. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

The New York Yankees grabbed center fielder Johnny Damon away from the rival Boston Red Sox, reaching a preliminary agreement Tuesday night on a $52 million, four-year contract

Yep--he was great in the movie. Jennifer's character set him up so well and he played the perfect stooge.

[Shandrax]

I am watching the re-run atm and I came to 2 conclusions so far:
1. Tuchman reminds me of Jim Carrey
2. His chip tricks look artificial and far from smooth
