Poker players at Mohegan Sun Poker, Pocono Downs have a great room with great action but.
If I asked you where the center of the poker galaxy was I’d wager many reading this would say Las Vegas. Am I right? Is that what you were thinking? No good. Try again. Hell, Big Daddy will just tell you and save you the brain pain. California baby!! Now you know.
One of the more popular rooms is one I want to share with you today. This is the post I promised two days ago. Hope you enjoy. It’s a little long but it ends with some great gossip. Skip to that if you’re a lazy poker player.
The Bicycle Casino
I was only to California once and that’s a shame, wait. No, make that twice. Once I spent a few weeks with my brother Drew a retired Marine Col. (God bless our troops) and another time, which I somehow almost forgot, we drove 5 hours plus from Las Vegas in a hot rod lincoln of course, to see the tonight show with Jay Leno. That’s a silly story in itself so I’ll share it quick. I woke up one morning at the Golden Nugget and talked the family into a stop n go road trip to California to see the tonight show, the plan was – drive over, see the show and return to Vegas to catch the show in our hotel room. I told you it was silly. Anyways.. we did just that, we enjoyed the show, and started our return to sin city. We arrived at about 1am. We missed the show. Ha ha! I went out to play poker and all was good. The family went to sleep. Man the shit you do in Vegas. Anyways. Back to The Bike as they call it.

I’ve known about the Bike for years. Talk about poker coming out of California and it’s probably going to be mentioned in the top three. It’s a room where you will find poker pros, regular joe’s and movie stars and shit. Place sounds cool huh?
A cool new way to watch poker, let’s hope it’s the way of the future for poker tourneys being televised. An online free show called “Live at the Bike.”
If you made it this far in this post, good for you! It’s about to get really good and maybe even a little trashy around here. I am not only about to share with you a cool new, must follow poker web site, Poker Netcast. I’m going to tell you what you missed by not watching the Big Event this past week. “Live at the Bike.” I’m going to do all this for you because Big Daddy loves ya and because I love poker, then I’m going to play some poker at Mohegan Sun Poker at Pocono Downs Bitches! Cmon! Hit me one time dealer.
Final four players playing some great poker during the FREE to watch "Live at the Bike" event 2011. Victor Ramdin, Poker Stars pro won the event. Joe Hashim came in 2nd.
You know what, screw all that let, I wanna play poker too so let me just hit you with a bullet list of some of what you missed.
- Live at the Bike is the way of the future for poker purist who love to watch,learn real poker. It’s a live poker game, with a 90 minute delay (sounds wrong I know) but it’s cool. The broadcast shows the players hole cards so you know every step of the way how players are deciding to play their hands. Bluffs, semi-bluffs, all of it. You even get to enjoy all the folding players must endure during games and how they cope. The guys in this last event seem to have handled it with booze and food. They were so relaxed, it was awesome. I guess WSOP and WPT champs can play relaxed. The info, link(s) below is a great way for lazy, non book readers, lol, to learn how to play poker. Just trust me. It’s that good. (C’mon Mike McDermott, read a book already)
- Joe Hashem (WSOP Champ) came in 2nd and for some reason did not want to play along with the games hole card feature. *the whole point of the show mind you. Ozzzy Ozzzy Oyy Veyyy. Joe was avoiding to place his hole cards on the cameras glass, about 90% of the time. I now dislike Joe until he wises up. Cmon Joe! WTH.
- Victor Ramdin (WPT, Foxwoods Champ) came in first. He was awesome to watch. Basically poker enthusiasts had the chance to watch two Poker Stars pros play heads up poker while “seeing’ the cards they were holding. OMG! It was so fun to watch and to even learn some cool tricks.
- You missed the rather good job the commentators did covering the tourney. I wonder why they feel the need to trash it up, I’ll admit it works somehow, let’s face it. Poker has a trashy side to it. I’ll cover more on them when they get a link to Mohegan Sun Poker at Pocono Downs. It’s only fair.
- Jamie Gold (WSOP champ) came on and did some cool talking about the gossip surrounding his being broke. He’s not. He also mentioned how he enjoys rasing money for charity now. I dunno, I like Jamie. He’s real and he never claims to be a top poker pro. He says maybe some day. Too much he wants to do outside of poker. He figures, smartly I might add that poker is not going anywhere.
- You missed current WSOP champ Jonathan Duhamel (WSOP champ 2010) in the commentator booth. Man! Are you getting it yet about California and Poker people? It’s where all the real poker action happens.
- Do I really need to say more to get you to check out this site? If so, You’re crazy! Really? OK, two more whoppers coming your way and then I’m done, you GET IT or you don’t about Ca. poker.
- You missed the top ranked female player Kathy Liebert dishing out some really cool jabs towards Full Tilt Poker front man Howard Letterer. “It was awesome!!’ Loved it loved it loved it! Howard is known as the “Professor” because of his studious look or more like “stare” or maybe due to his passion for chess. Either way, I agree with Kathy, take away his step in shit rise to fame with Full Tilt Poker. I’m not counting him as a top pro. He too tight and rather boring. But hey, he’s loaded and I doubt he cares what Big Daddy thinks.

Jennifer Tilly signing off after her 90 min poker talk during the "Live at the Bike" tounament
- Last but not least? 38 year old hot chick, movie star, poker player (WSOP bracelet winner) Jen Tilly. (You’re welcome Jen, man ur hot for being in your late 30′s) Oh my God! I’d so bone her. Shwingggg! So get this. Turns out Jen likes to “occasionally wear her WSOP bracelet around the house naked.” (Give me a second to catch my breath.) Let us just soak this info in shall we? I love it! She’s a Big Daddy girl with that move no doubt! Whoot! Go Jen go! She said many things during her time talking up the live at the bike event and truth is, if you listened to her while the hands are going on, you learned some advanced poker strategy. She was talking poker, talkin trashy and slamming Coronas with lime. Jen Tilly. Marry me.
If all this doesn’t get you checking out this site, Big Daddy can’t help you. You’re a certified donk loser who will be left on the rail forever. Check it out! I’m telling you – it’s great stuff. Gheck it out! Poket Net Cast. Tell them Big Daddy sent ya and tell them how much you liked it. If you do. I’d like to see the WSOP and WPT doing the same sometime soon. Like this year. I think it’s the future of televised poker.
Top Big Daddy pick from all this has to be, Kathy Liebert who plain crushed it with the Full Tilt Poker pro “all out body slam” on Howard Letterer. Poker gossip! She says he’s a average player at best. I say Kathy is a great player and that’s all i got to say about that.
Peace, I’m going to play some cards.
