Nightly Live Poker Game Webcast

Anyone who knows me knows that I enjoy poker. I love seven card stud and hold'em.

My game is more of a tournament style. I play very few hands and generally expect to win about a pot per hour. I'm a patient player with a slight aggressive streak. This leads me to what I would like to talk about. My style works in a ring or cash game but not as well. I have to keep very alert and pick my battles.

A excellent site.

This is Live At The Bike. The Bicycle Casino in LA that has a nightly live poker game per webcast that is unedited and interactive in that you can contact the hosts with questions about strategy or what have ya.

The webcast starts at 9pm Central time and goes about three to four hours. This is a very educational game since it is unedited instead of the edited games on tv. You see every hand played and how they are played.

This is generally a ring game with some high limits. One evening I was watching a 400-800 limit hold'em game with a three bump limit. Meaning if someone raised the maximum it would cost you $2,400 to see a flop. I witnessed some pots just under $20,000!!!! Now there are lower limit games as well, games I would be comfortable in playing.

You get to see the junk hands that some people play instead of the action hands that make it on Bravo, Travel Channel, and ESPN. This teaches you a lot about patience in a game and will improve your playing as you develop your own playing style.

There is a registration but it is free and you can opt out of any email which I always opt out of. I get enough spam as it is.

I am fascinated by this webcast and it really verifies that narrowcasting interactive web shows have a huge and bright future in this broadband age. People want to be part of the show, to have an effect on it. You really don't have much of an effect on this show however I have sent in a couple of email questions about plays that were made and why and they always get answered on the air. If they added an interactive chat room instead of relying on 2+2 poker forums for chat they would be golden!

Enjoy it my friends!
