\"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

Tonight's show will probably be the return of what used to be the "big game" either 5/10 or 10/20 NL holdem. Last night's show was their tribute to Ladies Night III, until most of the women left in the last hour.

The big news from last night's show was the announcement that L@TB would go 5 days a week M-F 9pm-12mid starting 9/12. With Bart back from his emcee duties of last night, expect the David/Bart commentary duo to try and pep up the game.

As usual, head to www.liveatthebike.com to follow the exciting cash game action.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

So instead of 4 nights a week at 4 hours a night, they're talking about 5 nights a week at 3 hours a night?

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

That's correct, probably in part because of their thepokerchannel.co.uk deal. Also, the removal of poker talk does take a toll on the commentators. By the way, did you do a trip report of your Bike visit, including your L@TB appearances?

I would prefer this. As long as there are showing at least 1 limit game. No limit is extremely boring.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

You mean limit. I would rather watch paint dry then play Limit poker.

No. I mean no limit.

Besides playing no limit cash games is the dumbest thing in the world.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

7 is a lucky number to many, although I'm surprised more people wouldn't want to have that seat.

I think the idea for the 5k max was not to have someone buyin for a huge amount and try and run over the table.

Got any good stories to relate about Ladies' Night, besides that Tilly beat Lilly.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

Bart, Sitting in Seat 3 or 7, you can see the whole table without moving your heads. Very important for reads.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

Speaking of them, where are Gor and Jonas?

I think you're doing the right thing to get rid of the 9-10p PT hour of the show, since things do tend to drag at the end of the program. Will there be times when you go into "bonus" coverage and add back the hour on occasion?

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

I played a bunch of tables today at Hustler , everybody there knows about your internet broadcast now! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I did ok

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

Methinks Ed hates money

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

Rocking the 1/2 limit tables there Kash? (j/k)

Maybe Larry Flynt would take Live at the Hustler to the next level, PPV strip poker live. Then when a woman removes an article of clothing, Bart would say "Look at this!"

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

that hand was awesome.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

I thought maybe things would change in the post Barry world.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

By the way, talking about Clonie Gowan last night. Right after Bike ended, She won a $100 tourney on Full Tilt for $2,800 (100 people) and almost won another one (440 people) hour later - 3rd for $1,200. The timing was funny.

I hadn't posted anything yet, but I can post a quick recap for everyone.

Arrived in LAX at 7:30pm PST on Wednesday. I'm checked into my hotel by 8:30pm, and at the Bike by 9pm. Sitting in a $300-$500 NL game by 9:15pm. Played until 2am, and finished up $350.

Get some sleep, and I'm at the Bike, sitting in a $100 NL game by 11:30am. Took a break at about 4pm to meet Bart, and take a look behind the scenes of Live. Got signed up to play on the Live table later that night, and return to my original game until they summon me. Finish the $100 game up about $550, and take my seat at the $1000 game. Everyone knows the resuls of that one. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Up $2350. Shortly after the webcast was over, I called it a night cuz i was pooped from all the travel the day before.

Friday, I'm up, and at the Bike by 11am. In a $100 NL game by 11:15am. Pocket Aces very first hand, and I'm down 1 buyin when they get cracked by 9 2 suited. 2nd buyin, 2nd hand, and I get pocket 9's. Flop a set, and lose to the SAME guy who calls on a flush draw, and makes it. I drop 2 more buyins, and I decide to call it quits for a while, and head back to the hotel to relax for a bit and take a break.

I decide to go back to the Bike at 4:30pm. I'm in a $300-$500 NL game by 5pm. I played til 5:30am Saturday morning, and finish up $2700.

Saturday, I'm up at noon, showered, and at the bike and in a $300-$500 NL game by 1:15pm. By 2:15pm I'm already up $1100. By 5:30pm, they're calling our names for the Live table, so I quit playing in the $300-$500 game up $2200. I take the $2200 into the $1000 game and it didn't last very long. I still regret pushing with those Queens, as I actually had a feeling that I was behind. Got to learn to listen to my gut feeling more often. I bought back into the $1000 game with another $1500, and ended up winning about $850 of my original $2200 back before the night was over.

Had to be at LAX by 7am Sunday morning. Couldn't believe how fast the time went by. I had a great time while I was there. Everyone that works at the Bike was curtious and friendly. The food was great, and the action was neverending.

All in all, after all my expenses, I came out ahead $5100. I'm already making plans to make another trip out there in another 5-8 weeks.

I'm sure Clonie was enjoying her Danielle Steel novel while doing it too.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

what happened that hand? I tuned in right after it ended... that "hall of fame" hand...

A guy made a fantastic call-down with only ace high with 3 5's on the board and two other babies.

Dang it. You gave away the ending. Imagine if it had gone the other way. Like in the WSOP when the journalist looked up TJ Cloutier with ace high and won.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

Awww, come on Jive, I kid because I care. You're the gadfly in the entire L@TB operation who tries in vain to keep things in line.

Ed's play on the various shows have always been pretty live.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

CALL IT ALLEN

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

It's still on the regular schedule the rest of this week and next week.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

Where is Jesus? This game would go crazy wih him at the table too.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

Good call there!

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

tuchman looks like a lumber jack.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

How come Ed wasnt in the game when I was playing there? [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

At the start of the show, he wasn't sporting that lumberjack look, unless the room got 15 degrees colder in the first hour.

Kenna's made over 860k this year, and if the Hendon Mob database is correct, hasn't won a tournament in 2005.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

Nice job and good trip report CCW.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

I think they should get Allen in the booth for some commentary. I think we could learn a lot from him.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

Alan "felt" the spades coming

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/2)
 

After someone calls a 10BB UTG raise with AT and loses the hand to aces, the commentator says: "I wonder if I can get friday nights off to play in this game... damn"
I laughed.

Idea for Live at the Bike: Could a chat room somewhere in cyberspace be set up exclusively for viewers of Live@the bike? It could be password protected and you guys could sorta keep an eye on it for any funny comments. But you guys might have too much on your hands already... Just a thought. Love your commentary!
