LOL

Jesus wastes no time!

Seriously, why doesn't The Bike pay Jesus to play on this show?

Jesus 2, Patrick 0

Any chance you guys had the chip counts when play started at broadcast time so we can track the big winner/loser of the night?

And there it was, good job.

Mo is pretty good at beating these incredibly weak games. But but "real" no limit is a completely different kind of thing. Our intrepid announcers have probably never seen a strong no limit cash game. For that matter, I've never seen a strong NL hold'em game. But I played no limit 5 draw for 6 to 8 hours every day for several years. A lot of the principles apply to both games. Many of the post mortems I hear on this channel leave me scratching my head. I say, "Say whuuut?" At least it was refreshing last night to hear one of the guys say they are learning. It will be interesting to see how much they figure out.

Mo probably does have a read on Jesus. The L@TB format does not make it very easy to pick up tells from the computer screen. One thing I've asked for repeatedly is that they don't zoom in on the cards on the flop. That's the very best time to pick up tells.

Seven way action? Great googa mooga. I like Patrick's all in with the set, though.

[Kevmath]

I think they're more concerned about getting the cards up and following the action, instead of trying to catch everyone's tells. Maybe it'd work if it's a headsup situation, but how are you gonna get 7 player's tells?

[spsurfin_Michael]

Nice to see Patrick take that pot down

[Russ McGinley]

I guarantee you Mo and Barry enjoy every pot Patrick and Jesus win, save for the ones they are actually involved in themselves.
