\"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (11/14) (6/12 limit)
 

For those interested, Live @ the Bike (found at www.liveatthebike.com) will be showing an 8/16 limit holdem cash game from 6-9 pm PT (on a 5 minute delay). If you're not able to watch the show from the website, you can put http://216.53.204.10/bike/bike_300.asx into your Windows Media Player or Real Player as well to follow the action.

I wonder if I could get down there in time to play.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (11/14) (8/16 limit)
 

Which thread are we going to lock up? The WPT thread?

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (11/14) (8/16 limit)

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (11/14) (8/16 limit)
 

The "official" thread will be in this forum tonight.

I just talked to Zach about it. It'd take me about an hour to get there in 6'oclock LA traffic, and I doubt I'd get a seat. Fish can play for hours at 6/12 without busting. I'm gonna give it some more consideration at 7PM after traffic has died down.

Interesting (?) 99 hand
 

BB has red nines. Four limpers and he raises. (I think the raise is good, but close.)

Flop comes A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and a black 5 or 6 (can't remember sorry).

If you are BB do you bet out or check / fold?

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (11/14) (8/16 limit)
 

Yeah, I'll try to get a heads up from Bart or Dave next time they put a small stakes limit game on TV.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (11/14) (8/16 limit)
 

I wasn't really helpful either, I found out at 5:40 PT tonight, then hemmed and hawed for 15 minutes on what forum to put it in, as the usual forum (now Mid-High NL) wasn't really going to work.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (11/14) (8/16 limit)
 

So what's the deal with this thing? Is it just a random table being filmed? Or are these players supposed to be half-decent (haven't watched a hand yet). Why are they on "TV"?

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (11/14) (8/16 limit)
 

It's a random game of players. Theyre not supposed to be good at all.

Here's the action of one hand: KJs raise, AQo 3-bets, 86o coldcalls 3. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Live @ the Bike has been streaming live cash poker over the internet since February. They usually stream NL games $200 min/max thru 50/100 NL. They rarely do limit games, which is why this may be the first time you may have heard of the show. The thread was in the WPT forum for a long time, which seems to have caused some people to not know of the show either.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (11/14) (6/12 limit)
 

Hey the hosts read this thread? What are the chances of leaving my house now and getting a seat? If I that's not possible, what's the possibility of coming down there and side-betting red vs. black flops?

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (11/14) (8/16 limit)
 

Haha...I watched about 2 hands and can tell they're not great players. So the Bike just randomly picks a game to broacast? Why 6/12 instead of a higher limit or bigger NL table?

Yeah, I heard them talk about Sweetjazz's post. I had no idea they read this while they call the action. I've never looked in one of these threads before.

It's usually 10/20 NL or 30/60 LHE, sometimes even bigger games. This is the first time I've seen a game this low.

so Bart she must not be listening tonight.
 

So I guess you know the hooters girl isnt listening tonight with your comments of being allowed to live huh?

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (11/14) (6/12 limit)
 

It's a synergy type of thing, I put up the thread, people discuss what's going on the show, they comment. It's a lovely relationship. They've been trying to do limit games for a while, but the 20/40 and 30/60 regulars don't want to appear on the show, which is why they've done 6/12 and 8/16.

Are the commentators always this stupid?

Flopping two pair with random hand.
 

Flopping two pair with random hand, say a K and a 4 would be 48.5:1 or about 2%

Didn't seem right to me but I just double checked.

If you hold AK the flop with come AKx or better 2.02% of the time.
There ya go.

John

Re: Flopping two pair with random hand.
 

I think it's higher than that...

Re: Flopping two pair with random hand.
 

Yeah my guess was 50:1.

Re: Flopping two pair with random hand.
 

Its still worthwhile to call with any hand getting 15 to 1. While you flop two or trips less than 3% of the time, the times you flop a single pair will make up for the rest.

Re: Flopping two pair with random hand.
 

Theres always implied odds...

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (11/14) (6/12 limit)
 

"an advanced player would raise here with the flush and straight draw"... an advanced player would also fold five high on the flop.

awesome, got the mac to work. Which seat is 2 +2er Surfillini?

It's harder than it looks, to comment on live poker -- also because they have a lot to keep track of, and they don't get the cards right when the action occurs; it takes a few seconds.

These guys are nice and very good poker players (I've played briefly with both of them), so I wouldn't worry too much.

Well...
 

Actually I probably stand corrected. The chances of flopping two pair / trips / full house / quads with a random hand is 3.5% (or about 28-to-1).

So I suspect OP is correct if he means flopping exactly two pair.
