\"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/26) (10-20NL)
 

Kevmath is not going to be around tonight so I have taken it upon myself to start this thread. 10-20NL $1000min uncapped buy-in is the game tonight. Corp Mike and Barry Woods are in the game so it expects to be action packed. Head over to liveatthebike.com to see all of the action.

BarTuch-
Can you explain how the "check blind" can be effectively used. I never know what to make of a check blind when I'm in position.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/26) (10-20NL)
 

Ugh, I can't get it to work tonight again. Is it just me?

when it confuses your opponent so much that they push all in and start foaming at the mouth because they have no idea what it means. it's really only useful when you flop the nuts.

small/shorthanded games?...

as a pro cash game player, i've benefited a lot from watching your show and was curious if either of you (Bart or Dave) had any tips/advice on playing short-handed nlhe...???

also, would there ever been possibility of doing a short-handed show specifically? ...like say have a short-handed game every Wed. night or something like that to show how the game plays differently.....probably not eh? ...but just curious...

hey Jay, why aren't you playing in tonight's tourney?

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/26) (10-20NL)
 

Crack-
Going to Chicago tomorrow morning (6:45am flight). Also, I don't play multi-rebuy tournies-- I don't care for the maniac type play required in the first hour that is needed to succeed in those.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/26) (10-20NL)
 

Evening all.

Table looks pretty tight, but I'm glad I tuned in just in time to learn that a 53 card deck "makes a big difference!"

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/26) (10-20NL)
 

Mr. Felix what is funny about all of your posts is how you continue to think that you are the best poker player in the world. It is funny that you think you are so good, but after trying your luck at a bigger game then 1/2 no limit or 3/6 limit you are broke. Also I play a different game based on the players in the game. At the place you play at peaople are scared of losing 10 dollars which creates no action so I must create my own, but on L@TB there were plenty of action players to where I did not need to create my own action. You coming onto internet forums saying that we returned from our last trip busto is very humorous because although we did lose we are not busto and we played in much bigger games then you play in Amarillo and each put up 5000 for a tournament. You went busted in Amarillo playing in a 300 dollar buy in game. Really you should quit wasting your time trying to build your self-esteem on this forum by saying things about us when we have said nothing about you. So after you get you a bank roll we will see you on Saturdays and you will go bust again, until then shut the fu ck up. Also if Felix is planning on going to l@tb we need to get us some plane tickets.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/26) (10-20NL)
 

How much value is there in raising 50% of the pots if you are Corporation Mike? I understand that it is a tight table but its not a tournament, you really dont need to "accumulate" chips to move onto later stages. This is why I think Mike would be a really good tourament player. The problem I have with him raising so much is if someone re-raises him preflop and he lets it go or if he ends up losing a monster pot because he was goofing around with like Q8 offsuit and flops trips against a boat, wouldnt it almost seems like negative EV in the long run? Any math-related or physcology-related reply's would be greatly appreciated.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/26) (10-20NL)
 

ohhhhhh that's right... forgot about the Chicago trip. have a great trip dude!!!

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/26) (10-20NL)
 

hey guys me and a buddy have a bet going about what is the complete average starting hand that someone can have. I say that it's the computer hand, Q7o, he says it's J7o...settle this for us!

stl tony

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/26) (10-20NL)
 

Q7o is the median starting hand in Hold'em

For a russian accent rant, see Rounders. John Malkovich can provide it.

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/26) (10-20NL)
 

it always makes me laugh when bartuch talk about how seldomly they have made quads and straight flushes in their life . . . tonight playing about 1.5 hours of low stakes omaha tournies I have already made quads 4 times and one straight flush

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/26) (10-20NL)

this game is disgusting tonight

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/26) (10-20NL)
 

barry checked dark guys

Re: \"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (5/26) (10-20NL)
 

The nice thing about hold'em is that there are only several starting hand percentages that are possible.

These are approximate and there are others:

Pair over Pair 80/20 4:1
Dominated (e.g. AK vs AJ) 75/25 3:1
Two Overs vs Two Unders 70/30 2:1
One Over vs Pair(A8 vs KK) 67/33 2:1
One over-One Under (A9 vs K8) 60/40 3:2
Tweener (AT vs KJ) 65/35

and the really bad situation for the dog
One under (AA vs AQ) 93/7 13:1

because he called Hav's raise on the turn and immediately checked dark before the river was dealt.
