\"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (11/18) (10/20 NL, VIP Night)
 

Tonight's show is 10/20 NL, with a special prize awarded the "VIP" player of the night. The player who performs the best will win some Paul McCartney tickets (or maybe Juan Gabriel if Jesus wins). Jesus, Corp. Mike, Action Joe Ngyuen and others will be on hand to hopefully mix it up. Last night's $200 game was probably one of the worst shows (and threads) to appear in a while. It was full of passive, weak play and friends checking each other down. Too many off topic posts/pictures last night drove some people to ask that the thread get moved back to where it came from. So tonight, I make a desperate plea to try and steer the discussion to what's happening on the table. If not, then the thread will be on the move yet again until it's put out of its misery eventually.

Congrats on your 2nd place, I was referring more to the various pictures posted in the thread. At least poker was being discussed in your hand, although maybe the HH's here was a little much.

I did not post HH and I thought it was out of place too (especially if it was unconverted [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] ).

I think someone else did once the show was over...either way, I'm anxious to see if action Joe can for once bank a winning session.

sheesh - last night was so bad - pics and hand histories were way better. But we'll refrain from now on.

Hello, everyone we just started the show and all of the light blew out over the table we are working on the problem and have now fixed it we should be on air by 6:07.

Honestly, Im not even sure why they bother showing the 200NL game. I find it very dull personally. Maybe if they had the same game with deeper stacks I could stand it.

about the problems
 

www.liveatthebike.com is not working for me, could someone please post the webcast url directly?
Thanks in advance.

You can't blame anyone in the thread for veering off the show when there is no poker being played and its instead a bunch of friends softplaying each other and the ones who aren't softplaying are slowplaying to the river. Last night's show should just be discarded as an aberration due to the play and players on the table. Nobody wants the thread to degenerate into an OOT discussion but it's unavoidable when the show is totally unwatchable.

Could you at least entertain us by looping "My name is Jonas" in the interim?
