So I tuned to watch the Texas Rangers vs Baltimore Orioles and it's 10-1 in the top of the 9th. The O's bring in a position player to pitch. He lobs the ball in and the Rangers are teeing off. Fans are leaving and booing. I can't agree to bring a right fielder in to pitch even if you are down 9 runs. whats up with that oriole fans?

buddy left me a text to watch it and i hadn't watched anything since eye had us watch rampage, who's btw on tonight's 1m bi. was dull so i turned it off. came back several hours later and it was the same players but now interesting. probably took time to disassociate from the nosebleed stakes and remember they're just chips like any others. the ads for some solver that can run 5 way-all street scenarios is nuts. imagining the online game will soon die. bots were lolbad and ppl beat em always, but w ai to help em learn...give it 2-3 years til it's just bots playing bots.
i would get stacked in this game, esp after it got rolling. every hand is a minefield of unrangeable multiway madness. love the announcer. v sharp and probably a pro. i would enjoy the channel more if hole cards weren't revealed til post hand. seeing em up doesn't engage your playing mind and kills understanding, promotes vegetative laziness.

Not too much craziness on day 1. Waiting for the three way all in, and someone to suck out on the river.  |

Watched for awhihe. Pretty cool. High rollers. Slim and or Brunson never saw anything like this! Doyle just passed away two weeks ago. I remember watching Johnny Moss play back in the day. How the game has changed. |

Your guy rampage ran a courageous bluff for all 1m that got through on the river vs the player that reminded me most of myself, handz. On a three paint board holding qq holding middle set and not 4b pre handz was in call mode til rampage shoved 640k into 600k or something. Think on the riv hearts got there as well as it being v numerically coordinated too. It was all guts by rampage and only works vs a thinker. Hand of the night.

From sweating over a 10k stack(visibly anxious )....to jamming in a million dollar game. (nerves of steel) Great game to watch. (Tony G antics .... looked a little like Helmouth at the Bike lol ! ) On the opposite end of the spectrum...this hand ..... |

The Rampage bluff didn't last two full days as the biggest bluff completed in live TV history. Last night featured the biggest. Last night also had the largest pot in live TV history. Full disclosure, I just watched YouTube highlights. Incredible stuff. Biggest pot is a separator. Not v many ppl...

I watched it to about 11 PM last night.....got up at six this morning, grabbed a cup of coffee...and saw that they were still at it. Shifting stacks all over the place. (Missed the 3.1 million pot...saw the you tube video) Caught a few large bluffs (a shove against Polk that worked for about $900,000) and Polk putting in about half a million in a terrible spot(against Dwan full house) Probably the second best poker stream I've seen. (Beast, Keating game awhile back was pretty darn good also) Don't know where Hustler goes from here to out do themselves, should be interesting.

I got to thinking about the stream.
The board was perfect for rampage, intermediate for Hank and bad for Wesley to run bluffs. Hank's was the most impressive therefore because it got through most of but not all of the time if Doug had a big pair. Rampage gets through a lot. Wesley gets through against some recs but not a lot of pros. What is dwan afraid of besides kings or aces and I think those don't get played like Wesley did, almost ever. Once it's a 5b pot and Tom calls off big twice it's a showdown value or maybe a thin value prop river w aakk. All in? I knew the result cuz of the YouTube header, but when watching dwan looked to me like he was never folding.
Gameflow is important too. If hank vs Doug bluff happened first even if it was hours beforehand, I would find a call a lot more often than not. I was just thinking about it at our game stakes, y'know dividing by 1000 and thinking how it'd go.
Riveting stuff...
