where is everyone?

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/15) ($200 NL)
 

Dave and Bart,

At such low stakes, if you are sure you have the best hand on the flop or turn, and are deciding what to bet, should you just go all in if your stack size is such that you'll have to commit all your chips anyway? Thanks

Why? The idea is to win more money. You need to play right at the limits you are playing. Play the hands the right way depending on all the factors.

'sup everyone... any big hands yet tonight?

If your sure you have the best hand I would think it would be best to bet the right amount to get a call. With the best hand you want to milk it for as much as possible and that maybe taking time to put all your chips in. just my opinion.

I like watching this game because this is the game I play at The Bike and I play against most of these guys. Now I get to see their hole cards. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Bart, David,

I missed the beginning. Talk again about the HU @ The Bike please.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/15) ($200 NL)
 

Bart,

I believe everyone in Farmersville is called Melvin. Maybe I'm thinking of Melvindale.

gotta agree with ya' there. I see Eric (seat 5) EVERY time I've popped into the Bike over the past 2 months.

Hey, all.

Hope everyone's doin' well.

Obligatory question: did I miss any insanity in the first half that I must see tomorrow in the replay?

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/15) ($200 NL)
 

Any good action tonight? or a snorefest?

Stakes aren't always indicative of entertainment.

Sure, on LATB, in general, the higher stakes are more entertaining -- but that's because the players are. Think about it: if these guys were playing the $25-$50 game and you had Barry, Corp. Mike, Mo, Riverboatking, H.Russ, etc. etc. playing THIS game, don't you agree that the latter would be more entertaining?

Stakes are ultimately irrelevant -- give me a riveting $200 game any day of the week over a snorefest $5000 game.

Bart:

re: West Wing

It is amazing and will go down as one of the greatest shows of all time. Tuch, you do not know what you are missing. I'm so far from Mr. Politics but the writing and characters on the show are top-notch. It's up there with Sopranos, Six Feet Under, and 24 as being one of the best shows in the last decade ... and will last the test of time.

Good. I got past the debacle of my my girlfriend insisting that I include her on all my Mother's Day plans despite her never having a kid nor being pregnant. (I cracked about two weeks ago, got her a real nice gift, and took her out with my mom and grandmother.)

Other than that, same ol' same ol'...

I'm not sure how this applies to what I said...

Saying something is a "$200 game" isn't an answer to whether the show is interesting or not. Yes, you may play in this show every day of the week. I play at Foxwoods every other day, but that doesn't mean I can peg any stakes as entertaining over any other without seeing the players.

Stakes don't make for great viewing; the players in that game do.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/15) ($200 NL)
 

just wanted to say thanks guys for distracting me from studying for my last exams of my college career...instead i listen to the show, play online poker and when i hear you two start yelling i switch to watch...

ahhhhhhhhh, I was wondering how that "GF wants a 'Mother's Day' gift...." problem was going for ya' dude....

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/15) ($200 NL)
 

Actually, one of the best Bike episodes was Kenna James donking it up (on purpose) in a low limit limit game, the one where the deck hit him over the head like a ton of bricks. So funny.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/15) ($200 NL)
 

Bart Looks Like Devilfish ... or else Bart's episode isn't live yet.

Well, I disagree with you. Low stakes like these mean low pots to be won and in MY mind what makes a good, exciting show is when the pots are large in proportion to what I play.

nice read by seat 8 when he folded the JJ. he saw the guy in seat 7 give off 2 big basic tells that indicate serious strength - sitting back with arms crossed and casually taking a drink while the hand is going on...

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/15) ($200 NL)
 

I can't wait to play with Owen next week.

I don't think the "tells" had anything to do with his fold. I've played with Rick enough to know that he knew his JJ were no good.

re: Studio 60:

Sorkin's 'Studio 60' picked up for 2006-07


West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin's new series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip has been picked up for next season.

NBC has ordered thirteen episodes of the drama, which focuses on the behind-the-scenes politics at a late night comedy sketch show.

"Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme's work is TV at its best and Studio 60 lives up to that standard," said Kevin Reilly, president of NBC Entertainment. "I'm thrilled they are back on NBC for the Fall."

Among those on the cast are Matthew Perry (Friends), Amanda Peet (Syriana), Bradley Whitford (The West Wing), Evan Handler (The West Wing) and Carlos Jacott (Being John Malkovich).
