Texas - the state with the best action and the worst chips

Run good!

 

[FDLmold]

Just tuned in. +$187 so far.

Do you find the live stream helps your overall image, hurts it, or is neutral?

This is only my 2nd time so not sure. This lineup kinda tight though

 

[grandmeme]

Happy birthday! Let's go!!

Def a tight lineup. Just watched a guy fold KhThxx on an AhQhQx flop in a small pot.

That's why I raised the T876 in EP, gotta loosen up in the tight game

Are these commentators poop?

I can't hear them so dunno lol

 

[upNdown]

Yeah, they’re terrible.
Sorry about that river club - that was rough.
They didn’t notice it for like ten seconds though. Dummies.

Turned nut and 2nd nut in a double board bomb pot, guy had me drawing dead on one board and a flush draw on 2nd board that hit to stack me

Game SUPER tight so heading to The Lodge

 

[Anthony Martino]

So at 57:30 here the cards are wrong. I had AA75, not AT52 and called flop to:

1. See a safe non-club turn

2. Keep pot size manageable so if a club hit I could still call a bet and try to pair on the river

I think they bought the RFID card reader second hand. Or even third hand.

 

[links_slayer]

I stopped watching after maybe 10-15 minutes due to all the card reader errors (and the snoozefest commentators...good god are they bad)

You outlasted me.

I got to about 1:26. When the commentator said "I'm really excited" I thought "I wouldn't listen to this guy if he was the only thing on the radio and I was stuck in traffic".

 

[Anthony Martino]

I figured the lineup would put everyone to sleep, tight as hell

That worldwide guy desperately trying to look like an action player while being crazy tight cracked me up too

I think the problem is that a lot of these outfits don't want to spend much money on streams, or be all that involved in making sure lineups are entertaining

They view it as a vehicle to get butts in seats at the club, rather than as a potential driver of revenue and advertising in its own rights

 

[Poker Zombie]

hey view it as a vehicle to get butts in seats at the club, rather than as a potential driver of revenue and advertising in its own rights

Sure, I get that. However, I honestly cannot tell you which club you played at. The commentary is like dealers. There are those that do their job, and those that do their job so well people want to return. As a 4-hour ad for the club, those commentators are ambassadors. If the ambassador is as boring as stale bread, I don't expect much more from the dealers. Therefore, I am not inclined to visit the club.

Everyone was so damn tight both preflop and postflop. That "worldwide" guy calling a min raise and then snap folding to get the stream "VPIP" up is cringe. Honestly dial me in from Uncle T's seat and I'll play from the phone, that guy plays like 3 hands per hour.

That's why I started opening up, raising T876, etc

Figured most of these guys would be straight forward

Felt like Huggie and PLO Bro were the two loosening up the most

Last Nov The Lodge held a Quarterly PLO tourney that I ICM chopped and got 9th place

Tonight they held it again and I managed to improve, busting in 6th when I got it all in pre with T997 against KT97 and he just flopped trip Kings lol

I turned a flush draw but no dice
