\"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/5)
Tonight's show certainly has to be better than yesterday's 5/10 NL passive fest. Even with the pink chips added, it wasn't the best night to watch. On Wednesday night, there was talk of doing a 25/50 NL game, but don't know if that will really be the case. As always, you can watch at www.thebike.com and click on live at the bike along the left or put http://216.53.204.10/bike/bike_300.asx into your Windows Media Player.

I Guess It Really Is All About No Limit
It seems they given up completely on limit which is such a disappointment as I don't play much NL.
I miss when it used to say next to the Wednesday game "Its not all about No Limit". I guess now it is just no limit, cheesy tournaments, gimic pink chips and big breasted bimbos playing poorly. Maybe its time to cancel my subscription to the archives (especially since they have given up on organizing them like they first did) Dopey [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] |

Re: I Guess It Really Is All About No Limit
There had been some talk of them doing shows with limit poker at higher levels during Legends. Have you emailed your concerns about how poorly the archives are now at live@thebike.com? It wouldn't be terrible if they stuck with their usual schedule of a limit game every Wednesday night, but don't know if this Poker Channel thing will hamstring them into showing only NL.

Re: I Guess It Really Is All About No Limit
I too would like to see a lot of limit games.
It will come as no surprise to regulars here that I am very disappointed with the production. It's such a great idea. I keep coming back though. It's the "only game in town." Why can't they start on time???? For a broadcast, thirty seconds late is not on time. It's 6:05, and I'm starting the Media Player, getting the promo, killing the player, starting it... If for some reason they can't start on time, at the very least they should put up a sign rather than running that promo. |

Re: I Guess It Really Is All About No Limit
Or they could just film the floor, that should be easy enough to do. Last night, the show started at 9:15, and it seemed they had been going for a few minutes, as it wasn't acknowledged they had started late.

Re: I Guess It Really Is All About No Limit
They used to seperate into catagories (Limit / No Limit / Special Tournaments) so it was easier to find what you wanted.
They also used to include a brief not saying what the game was or a brief description of what you would see, now it just says "08/03 - Game". Now if I want to go back and watch a $200 No Limit I have to open each one and watch a minute or two to find out if it is the game I want. Just overall disappointing. I have send several e-mails complaing about this but as has been said elsewhere they are the only game in town. Dopey [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] |

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (8/5)
I don't like to complain a lot anymore about the show, as being behind the scenes for a couple of days makes you aware of how difficult the show is, but this hasn't been the best week for LATB. Bart and Shirley both sounded very tired Wed. and Thurs., and Shirley remarked on her blog that she was very bored last night trying to say something other than "limped around, 5-ways" and such. I think we all know that it can be painful just watching boring poker, but commentating boring poker is even more painful. It might not be a bad idea for Bart and the others to come up with some topics to talk about before the show in the event that its a snooze-fest.

Live at the Bike Proposed changes
My 2 cents
1. Start on time or post a message immediately saying the broadcast will be delayed. 2. Cut the broadcasts to three times a week. a. 1 Night High limit poker (30-60 or above) b. The traditional Friday night High No limit game c. "Gimmick Night" pink chips, centerfolds, and such 3. Rotate announcers half way thru the show (Most announcers for this show are great, just limit their shifts to two hours apiece so they will be fresh) The delays in the start time are MADDENING.... |
