\"Official\" Live at the Bike thread (9/15) (10-20 NL)
 

Tonight's show will be the standard 10-20 NL, 1k min no max buyin game. Jeremy, the kid who played 4 hands and won about 5k, turns out to be 2+2er PGarlic, will be back in the game tonight to try and win some more money as this eventful (at moments) week comes to an end. As always, the action starts shortly after 10pm ET over at www.liveatthebike.com

Hey Bart,

Do you like to use the "4-color deck" when you play online?
Why is it never used in live games?

When I play live or watch poker on TV or on LATB, it's easy to mistake clubs for spades.
and it seems like having blue diamonds and green clubs would only be a good thing.

Are there people (other than Mason Malmuth) who would actually be AGAINST the 4-color deck?

Mason Malmuth wrote in "Poker Essays: Vol 2" that flashed cards would be easier to spot, because there would be no doubt exactly which suit it was. He also went on to say that using the 4-color deck could allow frontloaders to more easily see their opponents cards as they're being dealt if the dealer is sloppy.

He wrote the essay in 1995. And referred to the 4-color deck as having "had it's run". So apparently cardrooms did use the 4-color deck for a while then quit. Did the Bike ever use the 4-color deck?

Thanks

A "cooler" is the same thing as a cold deck - a deck that's been set up to give a victim a big, but second best hand. It's called a "cold deck" because it has not been warmed up from people handling it.

Be very careful about saying you were given a cooler to someone who's been playing more than a couple of years.

The most common type of color blindness is the red/green kind. It mostly affects males, almost 10% of the population.

Hi Bart! do you ever just call a bet in three way action on the flopp when you flopp a bottom set ,when there is flushdraw on boad..waiting for the safe card on the turn...or you build a big pot knowing you are the favourite...and knowing your opponent will call all his money with dry flushdraw....an opponent like ed for instance

Speaking of people who didn't appear on LATB, Vanessa Rousso won the $5k NL tournament at Borgata Wednesday for about $250k.

My housemate Jeremy is crushing peoples hopes and dreams.... lol. Just kidding. He is a very tight solid played that does terrorize our game at UC Santa Cruz. He usually plays with a Nintento DS and still crushes the game. He usually also uses candy as a card protector, rarely talks, and does very well. He has helped me with my game a huge ammount. He has some very interesting poker philosophy and is very strong at reading how a hand plays out.

Also Derrik is a very solid player that thinks out every hand very well. Im VP and he is President of the UC Santa Cruz poker club. He is a very good up and comming buinsness man that has a lot of ambition and the skill to really take off. He is great at getting poker games together and we all play a very strong weekly poker game together.

I also think its an interesting dynamic that Jeremy watches live at the bike every day. He has seen all the regulars play and has basic ideas about how to play against them. This is something that should be thought about when commenting when he is in a hand against them.
