\"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

Tonight's show probably won't have the excitement or interest that last night's 400/800 game with special guest appearances by Barry Greenstein and Doyle Brunson had, but most of us will carry on anyways. Tonight's show is expected to be a 10/20 NL game, expect it to have many players familiar to the show. Listening to Bart's interview with Doyle, it seems Bart may need some new general questions instead of asking variations of the same questions heard time and time again. Maybe some better questions offered by the viewing audience could be helpful.

For those that care to view the show, head to www.liveatthebike.com or put http://216.53.204.10/bike/bike_300.asx into your Windows Media Player. You may want to check the links before the show begins at 9pm to make sure everything's running properly so you don't miss the broadcast.

EDIT: Tonight's show will be 10/20 NL featuring Clonie Gowen. My inside source also mentioned that the show may start late because they're filming the end of the media tournament and there's currently 5 players left.

In the future, I think it'd be more interesting to hear what the guest has to say about a few hands that he can watch and see the hole cards. Barry gave some great advice on hand/player reading last night when he was just allowed to do it. We didn't get a chance to hear Doyle talk about any hands being played as he was busy answering the same few questions he answers in every interview. If these guys they bring in are supposed to be great poker players, wouldn't it be more advantageous for the viewers to be able to hear them analyze poker and give their opinions on some hands. Let them spend a couple of minutes talking about a tourney performance, then onto the actual game.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

I'll be interested to see Clonie play for cash. She doesn't get much respect for her game in a lot of circles. I haven't seen anything spectacular from her (well, besides the obvious), but it'll be interesting to see her for an extended period of time.

To be honest, many of the big tourney names haven't looked like cash game killers. By no means do I think I could hang with them, but it has been very interesting to watch.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

The show started a little early with the end of the media tournament for a Legends seat. I guess Simon Trumper's blog counts as being part of the media, and Jim McManus is there too.

Missed last night. Definately in tonight [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

You could add Barry Greenstein commentating with Simon at the table with the brouhaha those two had at the WSOP.

KFWB is a News Station in LA.
It's not a sports station.
Although the Dodgers are on in baseball season.

Bart,

Who won the "last longer" bet from today's tourney?

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

Aren't you supposed to raise the button every single time heads up no matter what the cards.

No. There are times when it's okay to not raise being on the button. Being short-stacked is one of them.

Friar Tuch did, finishing on the bubble in 11th place.

Hey Ty Law, nice pick.

I would just like to inform all that I am fortunate to still have power while in the midst of the hurricane. I'm about 10 miles south of the eye.

Thank You Kev

I like the idea of just turning on the camara if they are running late.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

uhh - lets get the game started!

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

They did start on time, they were just showing the end of the media tournament. But I agree there's nothing wrong with just pointing the camera at the casino floor while waiting for the show to start.

Going to a topic mentioned last night, Bart said that the WPT would be filming 3 events at Legends (Main Event, Ladies Night III and the Battle of Champions). I'm assume the 3rd tournament will air the day after Ladies Night?

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

Brian has a good seat. GO 2+2!

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

Rooting for 2+2!!

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

Seems Brian has the best seat at the table, next to Clonie and able to stare at LeLe.

I was trying to search for his name, but can't find anything.

Doesn't Bart know the difference between the Eagles and Phillies?

Regarding last night's jackpot, is the $1m promotion still going on and would Johnny need to be present to win?

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

Brian is being a little too stoic. GO FOR THE GOLD BRIAN.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

Great show as always..... We enjoy watching in OHIO!

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

Why Cry about the way WPT runs their choosing players.

It's Hollywood you know!

Shirley they passed on you too?

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

Wel they certainly wouldn't have passed on Shirley if they were going for the hot chick criteria.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

'Tis whatever will sell. Isn't that ALWAYS the way.

I would vote to see Shirley play!

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

wow - the big game in the corner.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

Did Clonie just ask about tipping???

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

Two nights in a row ... it's a record for me, I think.

Even better still when I log in at 9:40 and there is video AND sound - perfect for party poker'ing...

Bart, can you ask that lady in Seat 8 to put on a sweater?

What are they usually tipping at this game?

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

The WPT is stuck a little that they can really invite only 4 ladies at each event (assuming they invite the previous year's winner and the winner of the Bike's tournament).

Ladies Night 1 lineup - Ng, Gowen, Harman, Duke, Liebert, Feduniak
Ladies Night 2 lineup - Gowen, Eolis, Goldman, Mercier, Zhang, Violette
Ladies Night 3 lineup - Mercier, Tilly, Elviro, Waggoner, Reyes and whomever wins next week.

There are at least 2 people each year who shouldn't be involved before others are invited. But the WPT does like having the hot name on the show, especially with it being on later this year.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/25)
 

I like how seat 1 is trying to do the chip trick, failing every time, yet still looks at Clonie after each attempt. You can do it, buddy.

What are the red chips worth? I can't remember the screwball Cali color scheme.
