They keept trying to cover up Biglers logo and if I am not mistaken it was for TheBike.com and said Free Poker above it, so that must not be the case.

I am watching the final table of the PPT tournamant played at Foxwoods and I saw something I didn't understand and thought someone here may know the answer.Two of the players(J Harman and J Juanda) were wearing clearly visible Full Tilt shirts and one (Ron Rose)was wearing a PartyPoker shirt. On the other hand Dan Harrington looked like the emblems on his green cap had to be covered up and they tried to cover up Biglers shirt emblem. Were PartyPoker and FullTilt somehow sponsors of this tournanment? I saw a couple of Party tv ads during the tournament but no Full Tilt ones.I assume PP and FT

Not only can what you are saying happen, as we have found out lately one person can have multiple accounts and have several entries into one tournament. That could allow for chip dumping,etc. I would rather play live as I think the variable like this are reduced. However if someone is allowed to use an electronic device like a cell phone or Blackberry during a cash game that is being taped and streamed like Live at the Bike, I would not be at all comfortable. When big $'s are at stake, some people will look for an edge either honest or dishonest.

For the poster who asked how could you measure teacher performance. I am a corporate trainer. A few times a year I have an unannounced visit from my supervisor. He will show up in my class to observe me, how well prepared I am, etc. He then turns in a report which affects my job status, pay etc. To much of our tax dollars go to overhead, administration, etc. Each county has a super, a staff, etc. Much of this overhead could be reduced and more money could flow into the classroom.If the same amount of tax dollars we pay for government schools were put into the private education system and stud

So in essence you have someone with strong ties to the casino, who I'm am sure has close ties to many of the insiders (ie,overhead security,video people,etc) using a Blackberry during a high stakes poker game. BTW: does anyone know why the "Corporation" Mike name at the table. Is it just to let everyome know he owns a business?

I didnt want to call out anyone by name, but after watching Live at theBike for the last two weeks I have seen Mike looking at his Blackberry at the table at least 10-15 times. So when you say NO Way Ever you are just wrong. He does sometimes back up from the table (in his chair) about a foot. When I have seen this he has not been in the pot but there was play.

I have recently began watching Live at the Bike and noticed something I thought was unusual. Some of the players at the table were using a Blackberry during play. The game is streamed to the internet with a five minute delay, but what would keep friends from sending information to the players like who has been bluffing, who bets with weak starting hands,etc. In addition, I was told some of the players are employees of the Bike. Now it seems if this game is being recorded someone could be sending instant info. I have never played at a casino that allows cell phones, Blackberrys, etc to be used

Because I am very rarely in my room when I go to Vegas I look for the best deal I can find. Without a doubt, the Orleans has a combination of great rates and not a bad place to stay. I was able to get a rate of $18.00 a night for weeknights and about 100.00 a night for the weekend. The poker room is not bad either and easy comps. It is off the strip but has a shuttle. If you have a car even better. I got the best rate on TravelAxe.com, but then called the hotel direct and they matched the price.Good luck.

If you are looking for a great buy at a nice place just off the strip, I just got back from Vegas and stay at the Orleans. Rate was 18.00 anight week nights and 110 weekend. I found the rate at TravelAxe.com and caleed Orleans to match. No play required.
