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

Methinks Ed hates money

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!"

that hand was awesome.

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

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.

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 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.

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

Be of good cheer. I think it's time to give up.
