"Official" Live at the Bike thread (9/13)

[Kevmath]

Tonight's show is scheduled to be a 30/60 limit game, at least that's what it says on the website. Last night's show was definitely an improvement over the Friday/Saturday shows, with many players willing to mix it up and create some action. The duo of Bart Hanson/Shirley Rosario will be calling the action over at www.liveatthebike.com starting at 9pm ET.

Bad news:

I just heard from Bart that they're going to rerun a recent show, because they're featured on the Windows Media Player home page. He didn't know what show it would be, as he just found this out himself. If they're smart, they'd replay one of the Barry Greenstein shows.

Like Kevmath said we are going to rerun one of our big episodes from last month. I'm not sure what specific episode but you'll be sure to see some high limit stars if you missed them the first time around. We are doing this ONE TIME rerun because we wanted to feature a big game for new viewers checking us out through the front page of windows media player.

Thanks for all of your support,

Bart

I'm fortunate to catch like 5 shows a month ... let's hope this is one of the one's I missed.

Thanks for the explanation, though, Bart (and KevMath).

Their promo on WMP says 'Live' poker.

I understand that they don't want to chance having a boring night, but, well, it says 'Live'.

Where is this mysterious WMP page?

They have been featured on that site a couple of times before, and those were live shows.

Also, why do it on a Tuesday night, when there's two new WSOP shows on ESPN tonight that the casual viewer probably would be watching more than some program over the internet.

I'm guessing some non-Bart non-Tuch guy made the call... Eh, whatcha gonna do, it's a free show and they've done this now precisely once in, what, a bunch of months?

I can think of a few occasions where there wasn't "live" poker. One was when they did the final table of a LIPS tour event that was held on a Sunday, another time when the show got cancelled altogether because of a power failure, and another time on a Saturday night when they re-aired a high-limit game around WSOP time.

Also, not having anything at 9pm wasn't a really good idea if they want to draw some viewers to the show. I guess making this decision less than 30 minutes before the show starts wasn't a wise one either.
