Football is all about strategy in the big picture, it's really a

KenSmith: Hi guys. How'd the party go, Dr Pane?

01/23/05 21:02:39 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
all the patients are doing fine

01/23/05
21:02:55 KenSmith: I finally got to watch with sound,
just a few minutes ago.

01/23/05
21:03:10 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: what did you
think?

01/23/05 21:03:19
KenSmith: "Can I get a Heave-Ho!" Great stuff

01/23/05 21:03:30 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
that was funny

01/23/05 21:03:53
KenSmith: Again, very nicely played round. The final hand
bets were excellent all around.

01/23/05
21:04:12 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: even Kevin's?


01/23/05 21:04:23
KenSmith: Well, Kevin's could have been better, but it wasn't
that bad.

01/23/05 21:07:51 Viktor: It's a real
geekfest here. I've got Holly D. and Parker in my office, and our
computers are all jacked in.

01/23/05
21:08:04 KenSmith: No, a lady named Guinn won it.
However, I'll tell you Rita Bagot's story...

01/23/05 21:08:17 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
ok

01/23/05 21:08:22
KenSmith: Rita tied on the bubble to make the semifinals, so
there was a playoff this morning.

01/23/05
21:08:29 KenSmith: 4 hands, but she lost....

01/23/05 21:08:40 KenSmith: However,
they had a no-show for the semis, so she got a seat
anyway...

01/23/05 21:08:41
Viktor: Dave's watching the last three hands.

01/23/05 21:08:58 KenSmith: She played
very well in the semis, taking first low on the last hand. Dealer

how did she do in finals

01/23/05
21:09:34 Viktor: Did you guys see the WSoB 2005 website
on GSN.com?

01/23/05 21:09:41
KenSmith: In the finals, she played pretty well, but underbet
the final hand. She bet $825, won the hand, but ended up third behind
a tied first and second place. She missed 1st place by
$52.50

01/23/05 21:09:41
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: no

01/23/05

01/23/05 21:09:55
Sun_Runner: Good thanks.

01/23/05
21:10:15 KenSmith: However, she picked up $16,000 for
her efforts.

01/23/05 21:10:18
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: how is the wsob site?

01/23/05 21:10:26 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:

01/23/05
21:10:56 Viktor: It has bios of all the players, and
decent, although small, pictures.

01/23/05
21:11:03 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: it was close between 1, 2,
3

01/23/05 21:11:12
Sun_Runner: I have yet to see the show... local Cox has my
signal screwed.

01/23/05 21:11:32
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: sun runner where are you

01/23/05 21:11:43 Sun_Runner:
Exactly?

01/23/05 21:11:47
KenSmith: She was BR2, behind BR1 by a couple hundred, ahead
of BR3 by a couple hundred. She thought she had first high with the
bet.

01/23/05 21:12:02
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: my cox was OK

01/23/05 21:12:06 Viktor: Holly D is
notating the last hand now.

01/23/05
21:12:32 Sun_Runner: I can get the stations on both
sides of GSN, just not GSN!! Very frustrating.

01/23/05 21:12:39 Viktor: Dr_Pane Yeah,

you didnt beat me the dealer did

01/23/05

01/23/05 21:20:31 HollyDave: brilliant
bet and play, joe

01/23/05
21:20:44 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: THANK YOU

01/23/05 21:20:48 HollyDave: i admit, i
misplayed it. shoulda surrendered

01/23/05
21:20:57 KenSmith: Mr O was critical of your bet Pane,
saying you should have bet half the bank. I like your bet
better.

moneytaker Logs in

01/23/05 21:21:12 KenSmith: You give
Dave a chance to max bet and give you the low

01/23/05 21:21:13 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
date stamp that hollywood admits wrong

01/23/05 21:21:22 HollyDave: but
kevin's soft 19 had me assuming he would be a fave to win, and clear
my surrender by 1000

01/23/05
21:21:30 HollyDave: pushing me into 3rd

01/23/05 21:21:50 KenSmith: Joe, you
gave Dave the high if he wanted it. Should he have taken
it?

01/23/05 21:22:04
KenSmith: hi moneytaker

01/23/05
21:22:11 moneytaker: Hi Ken

01/23/05 21:22:13 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
match up would have been his play

01/23/05
21:22:24 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: plus he goes after me


01/23/05 21:22:48
HollyDave: i took the flex bet... a double would give me the
high (assuming joe couldn't double) and a surrender gave me the low
(assuming kevin wouldn't win while i lost)... of course, neither of
these things happened!

01/23/05
21:22:54 KenSmith: yeah, that's what I meant
actually.

01/23/05 21:23:30
Parker Logs in

01/23/05 21:23:50 KenSmith: The bet was
a nice precision bet Dave, and it did both those things nicely. I
still like matching up, but your bet was very flexible as
well.

01/23/05 21:24:02
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i could have locked kevin out of the
low

01/23/05 21:24:07
HollyDave: i just didn't wanna guarantee kevin the
low

01/23/05 21:24:35
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: once you bet what you did he had the
low

01/23/05 21:24:47
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: unless you surr.

01/23/05 21:24:50 HollyDave: ? a
surrender would still give me the low

01/23/05 21:24:56 HollyDave: right


01/23/05 21:25:00
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: but you didn't

01/23/05 21:25:02 KenSmith: Yeah, Kevin
could still bet more, and should have to beat a possible push by
Holly

01/23/05 21:25:25
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: kevins bet left a lot on the table


01/23/05 21:25:47
KenSmith: He should bet all he can and still surrender after
Dave surrenders.

01/23/05 21:25:54
HollyDave: but as the cards came out, a surrender would have
me @ 88,250 to kevin's 88,000... but his 19 vs. a dealer 3 looked too
promising for him

01/23/05
21:26:27 moneytaker: I thought GSN did a wonderful job
with the show and you guys played an excellent table. Unfortunately
it was very hard to hear what Kevin was saying during the
tourney.

01/23/05 21:26:29
KenSmith: Ooh, scratch my last thought. That's not it at
all.

01/23/05 21:26:29
HollyDave: if kev surrenders, he goes down to 87,000 and i
clear him by just over 1000

01/23/05
21:26:37 HollyDave: after i surrender

01/23/05 21:27:05 KenSmith: Yeah, I'm
forgetting the bankrolls. Let's see, it was
97250/100250/88000?

01/23/05
21:27:15 HollyDave: what really messed me up was, once
i decided to hit rather than get into a sticky surrender situation
--

01/23/05 21:27:22
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: thats correct

01/23/05 21:27:44 HollyDave: i realized
after the 1st hit that since i couldn't SEE joe's double down card, i
didn't actually know what i was trying to hit to

01/23/05 21:28:10 HollyDave: the risk
of busting became greater than the risk of hitting to an unknown
number

01/23/05 21:28:21
KenSmith: I like $27,000 for Kevin.

01/23/05 21:28:23 HollyDave: if i
coulda seen joe's total, i woulda tried to beat him

01/23/05 21:28:24 Cardkountr: Dave, i
thought for sure that after joe split and then doubled that you would
then double yours too, thinking that if joe makes his hand you could
have given up 2nd place since Kevin was fairly good with 18


01/23/05 21:28:54
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: kevins bet was short didnt matter

01/23/05 21:28:55 HollyDave: a double
by me would still not be enough to clear joe

01/23/05 21:29:02 NightTrain: Good
evening folks. Joe, H-wood and Kev made a great threesome. Their
personalities worked well together during the match. Great
play.

01/23/05 21:29:11
HollyDave: assuming we both won

01/23/05 21:29:11 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
kevins hand was of no factor

01/23/05
21:29:25 HollyDave: ? how so?

01/23/05 21:29:27 KenSmith: Yes, the
way the cards fell, Kev's bet was immaterial. But it could have been
important.

01/23/05 21:29:42
HollyDave: it affected my decision to not surrender

01/23/05 21:29:59 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
but his bet left him no options

01/23/05
21:30:03 HollyDave: hey rick!

01/23/05 21:30:17 KenSmith: I agree
NightTrain, these guys put together a great show.

01/23/05 21:30:33 moneytaker: Hi
Rick

01/23/05 21:30:40
HollyDave: he shoulda bet about 11,000 (leaving himself the
highest number of unbet chips left

01/23/05
21:31:20 moneytaker: how would you have played your
hand if he did bet 11,000

01/23/05
21:31:28 HollyDave: good one...

01/23/05 21:31:54 HollyDave: well,
surrendering would still be out of the question (because of his 19 vs
dealer 3)

01/23/05 21:31:58
moneytaker: and what about you Joe? Would you have played the
same?

01/23/05 21:32:05
HollyDave: yeah joe!

01/23/05
21:32:13 HollyDave: would you change anything if you
could?

01/23/05 21:32:19
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i had to bet first and act first

01/23/05 21:32:20 NightTrain: I'm
having computer difficulty. Long delays in text appearing.


01/23/05 21:32:34
Viktor: Buy a real computer.

01/23/05
21:32:36 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: so my options were
limited

01/23/05 21:32:39
moneytaker: LOL

01/23/05
21:32:44 HollyDave: but would you make any
changes?

01/23/05 21:32:58
HollyDave: i just watched the episode again and didn't notice
any irregularities in your play

01/23/05
21:33:11 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i decided to try to fool
hollywood into betting a max bet and giving me a low


01/23/05 21:33:17
moneytaker: Hollywood, you didn't answer. Would you have
tried to hit to 21?

01/23/05 21:33:46 HollyDave: oh —
probably not. as it turned out, his bet didn't have any
consequence

01/23/05
21:33:57 HollyDave: i would still be more concerned by
joe's double down

01/23/05 21:34:09
HollyDave: assuming kevin's win

01/23/05 21:34:17 norm Logs
in

01/23/05
21:34:24 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: he was more concerned about
me the whole round not just the last hand

01/23/05 21:34:28 Cardkountr: not
knowing joe's double card had a big factor in dave not hitting out
and chance busting

01/23/05 21:34:45
Sun_Runner: Kid — are you OK?

01/23/05 21:34:46 HollyDave: what would
have changed is if i had only bet 12000 (my lead over
kevin)

01/23/05 21:34:48
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: he could bust and still win

01/23/05 21:35:05 HollyDave: then a
surrender would still clear me whether or not kevin won his
2000

01/23/05 21:35:12
NightTrain: test

01/23/05
21:35:20 NightTrain Logs Out

01/23/05 21:35:25 HollyDave: but i
suspect kevin would have bet a lot more had i bet less

01/23/05 21:35:27 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i
was stiff on one hand a my double was face down

01/23/05 21:35:38 moneytaker: Why did
you choose not to bet 12,000

01/23/05
21:35:53 HollyDave: i wanted to trick kevin into
thinking i had overbet my lead

01/23/05
21:35:58 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i disagree

01/23/05 21:36:04 HollyDave: when in
reality a surrender would still give me the low

01/23/05 21:36:13 norm: trick
kevin!?

01/23/05 21:36:24
HollyDave: same thing MIT Mike tried to do to me on the last
hand of the Series last year

01/23/05 21:36:43 HollyDave: obviously
it didn't work, but can you blame me for trying?

01/23/05 21:37:41 HollyDave: if i had
bet 12,000, kevin woulda had to take the high (at least
25,000)

01/23/05 21:37:44

luck

you must reach to be sucessful

21:39:37 moneytaker: Well, the breast man wins that
award for this series lol

01/23/05 21:39:59 Sun_Runner: trully

the luck factor will balance out even but the skill level will
not

game?

Viktor: Hey NYC!

01/23/05 21:41:24 HollyDave: Well, luck
is more of a factor if you all play the same strategy

01/23/05 21:41:24 moneytaker: I
understand that it isn't all luck. Heck you have to know basic
strategy before you could even sit down to play with the big dogs
which I just learned in March. I think that really figuring out the
last 3-5 hands is where the true skill comes into play

01/23/05 21:41:29 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
the better players will get lucky and they will get unlucky but their
skill level will not wain

01/23/05
21:41:29 nycfudu: hi vik hi all

01/23/05 21:42:08 HollyDave: i gotta
tell you — and i'm writing a book about this now — one must
respond to the skill level at the table you are playing in


01/23/05 21:42:23

HD?

01/23/05 21:42:33 norm:
great

01/23/05 21:42:37
HollyDave: playing perfect Wong strategy at a World Series
table will only give you a crapshoot's chance at winnong

01/23/05 21:42:51 nycfudu: dr pane: are
u the infamous guy who got b'off in american casino?


01/23/05 21:42:54

foreknowledge of how you know your opponents will play

close. If you like variance, just bet more.

01/23/05 21:44:10 Sun_Runner: Wong does
suggest a late hand progression sometimes, no?

01/23/05 21:44:18 norm: yep.
one-third

01/23/05 21:44:21
nycfudu: dr pane : how did gvr figure you out?

01/23/05 21:44:24 HollyDave: We went
over this last year... the tourney player has 3 bet choices:
correlative, progressive, and contrarian

01/23/05 21:44:40 KenSmith: I find the
progression to be very rarely useful. The problem is you're ALWAYS
chasing moving targets.

01/23/05
21:44:45 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: they didnt. i was not
backed off there for BJ play

01/23/05
21:44:48 norm: or, blackwood's. wait for you guys to
lose

01/23/05 21:44:59
HollyDave: but wong's approach is to correlate (ie, flat bet
minimum bets) until it is obvious someone is too far ahead to
catch

01/23/05 21:45:32
HollyDave: the 'real game' doesn't start until you examine
your position in the last 1/3 of the game

01/23/05 21:45:32 nycfudu: hollywood:
was blackwood wearing a guise or is that how he usually presents
himself

01/23/05 21:46:00
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: you need to play according to the talent of
your opponents

01/23/05 21:46:10
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: or lack of

01/23/05 21:46:12 HollyDave: but since
we know most players at that table will be playing that way, you know
you will not have a significant lead unless you pursue it early
on

01/23/05 21:46:41
KenSmith: I don't think you could characterize the entire
table as conservative. Look at what happened to Rene and
Katya

01/23/05 21:46:46
HollyDave: betting a 1/15th progression only gives an 8% RoR
per cycle

01/23/05 21:46:47
norm: wong said that. I'm not convinced if you can let others
take the same

01/23/05 21:46:48
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: kevin always looks that bad

01/23/05 21:46:56 HollyDave: ie a $6000
bet

01/23/05 21:46:56
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: lol

01/23/05
21:47:32 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: he is just jealous that the
makeup worked for me and did nothing for him

01/23/05 21:47:34 HollyDave: a risk i'm
willing to take even when repeated 5 times

01/23/05 21:47:44 Sun_Runner: what was
the initial BR ... and what ended up BR1?

01/23/05 21:48:00 HollyDave: because a
40% RoR is still better than splitting the difference with 2 or 3
other flat-betting Wong bettors

01/23/05
21:48:02 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: how about that double on 12
vs 13

01/23/05 21:48:02
KenSmith: $100K to start, $100250 was BR1 going into the final
hand.

01/23/05 21:48:21
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: where is that in wongs book

01/23/05 21:48:23 HollyDave: i had to
hit anyway, and wanted to get more $$$ on the table safely

01/23/05 21:48:31 Sun_Runner: that
sounds conservative, no?

01/23/05
21:48:36 HollyDave: accumulate more chips with low
risk

01/23/05 21:48:37
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: so why not a full double

big bettors bust out.

going for a 2nd place finish on the last round.

01/23/05 21:49:05 HollyDave: close
enough to just taking a hit

01/23/05
21:49:07 NightTrain: H-wood: Speaking to folks, I hear
much about this in the early and late game. I never hear anything
specific about the middle game.

01/23/05 21:49:14

money on the table

21:49:48 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: hi regina

01/23/05 21:49:50 HollyDave: i think
the purpose of early and middle game is to ACCUMULATE chips when
playing against better players (rather than CORRELATE)

01/23/05 21:50:01 HollyDave: 1. to
better prepare yourself for late game play

01/23/05 21:50:11 KenSmith: The
'all-doubles-face-down' rule makes doubling for less sometimes useful
for concealing your outcome, though it didn't apply to Hollywood's 12
double.

01/23/05 21:50:23
HollyDave: and 2. because your "wild bets" will force the
other players to continue to bet low

01/23/05 21:50:36 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
why take a non-BS double

01/23/05
21:50:39 HollyDave: you train your opponents, forcing
their bets

01/23/05 21:50:42
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: makes no sense

in

01/23/05
21:52:08 KenSmith: Dave: Your opponents can wait and
see if one of your progression cycles busts you out, and if that
doesn't happen, they can do a shorter $30K/$60K progression to catch
you.

01/23/05 21:52:11
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: hit is the right play, double is poor money
mgt., and thats what tourn play is about

01/23/05 21:52:26 HollyDave:
"that's not a tourney play early on" refers to a set of
tourney rules that are only effective against average/poor players,
not tourney giants like you

01/23/05
21:52:28 HollyDave: !

01/23/05 21:52:44 Sun_Runner: could you
briefly describe the set up — # decks, # hands? (Again, my Cox
svc, #$%^!)

01/23/05 21:53:04

like the play

hands. Surrender. Stand 17.

21:53:58 KenSmith: Agreed. Way too often.

01/23/05 21:54:24 HollyDave: lot of
small progressions give you better opportunities to have money in
place for these opportunities, as well as forcing Wong players to
stay low longer

01/23/05 21:54:25
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: the count is not that important in a
tourney

01/23/05 21:54:38
Sun_Runner: penetration 100%? But do you count?

01/23/05 21:54:48 HollyDave: and the
difference in RoR % is so marginal

01/23/05
21:54:51 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i do for Surr

01/23/05 21:55:04 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
and hand plyying

01/23/05
21:55:11 KenSmith: I understand your point, and when
you add in the force-low-bet idea it has merit.

01/23/05 21:55:36 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i
don't agree with this force low bet

01/23/05 21:55:38 HollyDave: what's
interesting is how this changes the perception of
"position"

01/23/05 21:55:56
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: you didn't have me betting low because of
your prog.

01/23/05 21:56:00
Sun_Runner: did the play require a shuffle up?

01/23/05 21:56:06 HollyDave: EARLY
position is great because you use your bet to control everyone else's
bet (they must react)

01/23/05
21:56:18 HollyDave: LATE position still retains all its
inherent advantages

01/23/05
21:56:21 BJSWEETIE: I DISAGREE

01/23/05 21:56:40 HollyDave: let's go
sweetie...

01/23/05 21:56:59
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: using the puck affects when i will make a
move when i do

01/23/05 21:57:01
KenSmith: Causing a reaction to your bet doesn't mean control.
Early position will always allow your bet to be exploited.

01/23/05 21:57:19 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
there can be no counter

01/23/05
21:57:29 moneytaker: Viktor, what do you
think?

01/23/05 21:57:32
KenSmith: If I decide to bet low because you're in a risky
part of your progression, it's because I've decided I like the risk
profile of giving you a shot.

01/23/05
21:57:48 HollyDave: right, but the foreknowledge of
what you'll be up against is certainly a % of advantage

01/23/05 21:58:04 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
with a 100,000 BR, there was no need to panic

01/23/05 21:58:05 BJSWEETIE: GOOD
TOURNAMENT PLAYERS ARE NOT WORRIED ABOUT EARLY LEAD PLAYERS.
CONSIDERATION IN WHO'S TO YOUR LEFT AND PUCK POSITION CAN BE A BIG
FACTOR.

01/23/05 21:58:17
HollyDave: of course, NONE of this matters when playing
average/poor players who are unaware of the nuances of betting
strategy

01/23/05 21:58:37
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i'd rather play against good
players

01/23/05 21:58:50
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i know what they are going to do

01/23/05 21:58:50 HollyDave: me, too.
they're easier to beat...

01/23/05
21:59:01 Viktor: I agree with Dave. Early accumlation
and agression are important when you're playing against other skilled
players and will end up with poor position on the last
hand.

That's true.

players, now you say they're harder to beat, which is it?

wouldn't you rather play against lousy playes

01/23/05 22:01:20 KenSmith: Joe, how
many players actually fall into this category of being good enough to
be predictable. I'd say less than 20.

01/23/05 22:01:30 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
they are very unpredictable

01/23/05
22:01:34 HollyDave: a lot more than that

01/23/05 22:02:07 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
yes plus when i win, i want to play against the best

01/23/05 22:02:07 KenSmith: I should
restate. There are lots more predictable players, but that's because
some really bad players are predictable too.

01/23/05 22:02:10 nycfudu: thanks
vik

01/23/05 22:02:10
HollyDave: it certainly takes all the fun out of playing (when
playing against bad players)

01/23/05
22:02:20 nycfudu: but how does one know the skill level
of opponents?

01/23/05
22:02:55 HollyDave: that's why part of my strategy
involves a Profiling system in the first few bets to be able to
adjust the level of acceptable Aggression you must use to have the
clearest advantage

01/23/05 22:03:06
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: you need to know your opponents

01/23/05 22:03:14 HollyDave: and the
various strategies used

01/23/05
22:03:22 Sun_Runner: the little lady that's splitting
her tens on hand 1 is probably not a pro

01/23/05 22:03:30 nycfudu: some players
might bluff early on...

01/23/05

bet early

01/23/05 22:04:16

constantly evaluating the skill level of your opponents, based not
only on their betting patterns but their mannerisms, etc., as
well

definitely brings an open and sharp mind to the problems of tourney
play. Kudos.

Griffin and Poker tourneys changed my outlook on cash table

22:10:58 HollyDave: dude, you won't even consider
accepting that Wong is not as effective against other skilled
players, and that different modes of play must be employed

01/23/05 22:11:24 HollyDave: his
strategy was powerful 10-20 years ago when no one had any clue about
blackjack tourneys

01/23/05 22:11:30
HollyDave: that's not 100% true today

01/23/05 22:11:32 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i
play my style which is not wongs style

01/23/05 22:11:32 norm: Obviously if
everyone read Wong's book.......

01/23/05
22:11:34 Viktor: Yeah, what happened to "Beyond
Wong"?

01/23/05 22:12:03
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: thats why it will be called that

01/23/05 22:12:15 Sun_Runner: I thought
A. Curtis was working on that one!

01/23/05
22:12:19 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: he gives up
little

01/23/05 22:12:20
Viktor: With all due props, that's Dr Pane's joke.


01/23/05 22:12:28
HollyDave: well, when you're ready, i'll be sure to attack you
on every non-Wong idea you have, just like you do to me!

01/23/05 22:12:32 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
thank you, V

01/23/05 22:12:40
nycfudu: dave, your performance on the vegas challenge was
your best work i think..

01/23/05
22:12:55 Illusion: Dave, any poker strategies that you
have crossed over for blackjack?

01/23/05
22:12:56 HollyDave: thanks...

01/23/05 22:13:27 nycfudu: i was
watching it on tv with some friends and they all thought you were
funny

01/23/05 22:13:44
HollyDave: sure — the profiling of players, the trash
talking, the distraction, the studying of different strategies... Be
Prepared

01/23/05 22:13:52
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: if you are talking to me Dave i dont attack
you on every move you make why do you think that

01/23/05 22:14:08 HollyDave: really?
hmmm...

01/23/05 22:14:14
Sun_Runner: What is Dr Pane's joke .. the A. Curtis
thing?

01/23/05 22:14:20
norm: He's still trying to distract you

01/23/05 22:14:33 nycfudu: dr pane :
please tell us about your hair..

01/23/05
22:14:34 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: dave never has distracted
me

01/23/05 22:14:49 norm: I
said 'trying'

01/23/05 22:14:53
HollyDave: love ya joe...

01/23/05
22:14:54 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: what about my
hair'

01/23/05 22:15:06
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i love you also dave

01/23/05 22:15:10 nycfudu: dr pane :
surely there's a story behind your hair

01/23/05 22:15:11 HollyDave: a little
purple would spruce it right up i think

01/23/05 22:15:16 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: we
make for good tv

01/23/05
22:15:24 HollyDave: the odd couple

01/23/05 22:15:39 HollyDave: next
season we'll have to stage a big fight and get disqualified

01/23/05 22:15:39 BJSWEETIE: mutt and
jeff

01/23/05 22:15:45
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: if we are talking ODD i leave that part to
you

01/23/05 22:15:46 Viktor:
Or jett and muff

01/23/05 22:15:48
KenSmith: Next time we could have Dave in gray and Joe with
rainbow hair.

01/23/05 22:16:02
moneytaker: LOL

01/23/05
22:16:03 BJSWEETIE: lol

01/23/05 22:16:29 KenSmith: Well I hope
the ratings are good. I'm looking forward to WSOB3

01/23/05 22:16:34 moneytaker: Are there
any plays that you would have done different on this show?

01/23/05 22:16:36 Viktor:
Agreed.

01/23/05 22:16:40
HollyDave: so... anybody here watch a little show i like to
call "Celebrity Blckjack"?

01/23/05 22:16:41 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
dave if i hit you i'm not going to get disqualified i'm going to JAIL
lol

01/23/05 22:16:46
HollyDave: lol

01/23/05
22:16:47 Laughlin_Marauder: Dave is your strategies for
tournament play based in mathematics? or more psychology?


01/23/05 22:16:55
HollyDave: definitely math

01/23/05
22:17:19 norm: maybe in the last five hands

01/23/05 22:17:20 HollyDave: every bet
i make is based on a very specific mathematical reason... the splash
and dazzle is added on top

01/23/05
22:17:22 BJSWEETIE: debateable

01/23/05 22:17:32 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: we
then could take it to the Jerry Springer show

01/23/05 22:17:57 BJSWEETIE: you lost
some big bets and that was mathematically figured in?

01/23/05 22:18:05 HollyDave:
Regina...

01/23/05 22:18:35
HollyDave: they were 1/30th, 1/15th and 1/7th progressions
with a level of risk i was willing to accept

01/23/05 22:18:55 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
where is Kevin "Gilligan" Blackwood

01/23/05 22:19:03 Viktor: ha
ha

01/23/05 22:19:07
HollyDave: certainly you're not measuring the skill of a
player by the # of bets lost

01/23/05
22:19:10 Viktor: *laugh*

01/23/05 22:19:22 nycfudu: i thought
kevin looked like those lord of the ring wizards..

01/23/05 22:19:25 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: he
looks like Gilligan

01/23/05
22:19:34 HollyDave: he looks like Night Train

01/23/05 22:19:35 moneytaker: Hollywood
and Joe, were there any plays in the last 5 hands that you might have
done differently?

01/23/05 22:19:38
BJSWEETIE: i think you are all cute

01/23/05 22:19:53 norm: I'll tell rick
you said that

01/23/05
22:19:57 KenSmith: I have to take a break here. I'll
see if you're here after 15 mins or so.

01/23/05 22:20:14 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: if
i knew hollywood was going to bet that short i would have locked
kevin out of the low

01/23/05
22:20:17 HollyDave: in hand 22 i underbet by 1000
(tried to take the high on Joe and ended up only betting enough to
tie with him)

01/23/05
22:21:04 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: and still beat hollywood if
i swing him

01/23/05 22:21:19
moneytaker: That was funny Regina. "I think you all are
cute"

01/23/05 22:21:20
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: lock up 2nd and still have a shot at
first

01/23/05 22:21:28
HollyDave: joe, if you take the low to kevin, i still have the
low to you since i was BR1

01/23/05
22:21:46 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i know but i have 2nd
locked up

01/23/05 22:21:49
norm: Hey, getting second place means you can be on three
times.

01/23/05 22:21:55
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: and can win with a swing

01/23/05 22:22:04 HollyDave: yes... the
+ EV of TV time

01/23/05 22:22:27
HollyDave: i parlayed my 3 episodes last year into a job on 2
seasons of Celebrity BJ

01/23/05
22:22:33 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: it had nothing to do with
TV time if it did i would have bet short

01/23/05 22:22:46 olympia: Joe, do you
use any kind of quick & dirty formula to figure an insurance
bet?

01/23/05 22:22:51
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i was out to win 250,000

01/23/05 22:23:17 BJSWEETIE: you do
realize that if the dealer had a 523n56, holly would not have placed
2nd. an element of luck assisted you on the last hand dave

01/23/05 22:23:32 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: if
i'm leading i take ins. if my opponents do if i'm behind if they do i
don't

01/23/05 22:23:45
nycfudu: dave, what was up with that girl on celeb blackjack
who said she'd be banned from the casinos if she told you what she
was doing?

01/23/05 22:23:59
HollyDave: what's your point regina

01/23/05 22:24:16 HollyDave: my girl
Giuliani DePandi... what a hottie

01/23/05
22:24:38 HollyDave: she's the E! News
correspondent

01/23/05 22:25:11
nycfudu: dave, did she tell you why she would be
banned?

01/23/05 22:25:15
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: if the dealer made a 17 -18 -19 or busted i
win

01/23/05 22:25:23
HollyDave: i ended up doing a segment with her @ Palms playing
craps on TV with one of the stars of the movie
"Elektra"

01/23/05 22:25:24 BJSWEETIE: we can
brag all we want, but cannot forget that luck does enter in any card
game. what's important is that we utilize our skills.


01/23/05 22:26:07
HollyDave: she was a good player , but relied more on voodoo
than math! (like most of the celebs)

01/23/05 22:26:14 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i
was such a huge favorite on the last hand

01/23/05 22:28:45 moneytaker: Well I am
excited to see how next week's show goes.

01/23/05 22:28:57 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:

there.

01/23/05 22:30:41
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: that would be great hollywood

01/23/05 22:30:44 Viktor: OK. Dear Ken,
will you be our guest of honor for next week's chat?

01/23/05 22:30:50 BJSWEETIE: kenny,

01/23/05 22:31:29 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:

01/23/05
22:32:02 bfbagain Logs in

01/23/05 22:32:05 HollyDave: if that'll
give you the edge you need to think you can beat me...

01/23/05 22:32:11 Viktor: Hey
bfb.

01/23/05 22:32:13
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: you used it

Leann Moell

01/23/05 22:32:20
BJSWEETIE: hollywood: what strategy would you use in a live
money tourney

01/23/05 22:32:32
HollyDave: depends on who i'm playing with

01/23/05 22:32:39 bfbagain: Hi
everyone, just got in. So how's everyone doing.

01/23/05 22:32:54 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: me
how would you play against me & Regina

01/23/05 22:33:01 Viktor: Next time he
graces us with this presence, I'll ask him to be our guest of
honor.

01/23/05 22:33:01
HollyDave: i use an Aggression Index after Profiling my
opponents to determine how high a RoR i need to accept to have the
best advantage

01/23/05 22:33:09
HollyDave: the better the players, the riskier the
play

01/23/05 22:33:25
HollyDave: buy my book

01/23/05
22:33:33 HollyDave: be out around xmas

01/23/05 22:33:42 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i
get one for free, right Dave

01/23/05
22:34:04 HollyDave: done

01/23/05 22:34:13 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
boy girl productions

01/23/05
22:34:20 HollyDave: my theater company


01/23/05 22:34:35
HollyDave: we do postmodern performance art, mostly


01/23/05 22:35:01
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: a shameless plug for you

01/23/05 22:35:58 norm: the tournament
is over

01/23/05
22:36:25 moneytaker: Yes it is. It was shot in 5
days

01/23/05 22:36:53
Viktor: The show is on GSN right now. I forgot it started at 7
o'clock.

01/23/05
22:38:02 Viktor: "Renee, the only person not
having a bad hair day out there..." That was a good
line.

01/23/05 22:38:02
HollyDave: So rumor has it we will see Celebrity Blackjack
season III as well as World Series season III in the next 6
months...

01/23/05 22:38:26
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i already have been invited

01/23/05 22:38:31 HollyDave: nothing
offical, of course ...

01/23/05
22:38:35 moneytaker: How many players in WSOB
III

01/23/05 22:38:42 norm:
So your aim is to be a player and the dealer on Celebrity
BJ

01/23/05 22:38:46
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: so far 1 — me

01/23/05 22:38:50 HollyDave: that's
funny, they told me the only one they WEREN'T inviting is
you...

01/23/05 22:39:05
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: your info is wrong

01/23/05 22:39:17 HollyDave: my real
aim is to cross over into hosting more non-gambling related
programming

01/23/05 22:39:19
nycfudu: dave, you don't really interact with player during
celeb blackjack... you seem to put on a better show during the
tournaments..

01/23/05 22:39:20
moneytaker: do they need cleavage?? OH WAIT, BREAST MAN HAD
THAT ONE COVERED!!! Guess I am out of luck lol

01/23/05 22:39:39 bfbagain: I've seen
him have a bad "day" at the Bellagio. He doesn't seem the friendly
sort is he.

01/23/05 22:40:04
HollyDave: season one was awful, but most of the season 2
episodes have me doing a lot of interacting/cussing & swearing @ the
celebs

01/23/05 22:40:19
norm: Someone has to do it

01/23/05
22:40:23 moneytaker: and getting a little under the
table

01/23/05 22:40:32
HollyDave: oh baby, don't remind me

01/23/05 22:40:43 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
there is more room on the floor

01/23/05
22:40:45 Viktor: Nice bladder control commercial in the
middle of the WSoB.

01/23/05
22:40:53 Viktor: I think they're trying to tell Joe
something.

01/23/05 22:40:53
KenSmith: I'm back

01/23/05
22:40:55 HollyDave: Shannon Elizabeth has the softest
collagen-injected lips i've ever felt

01/23/05 22:40:58 moneytaker: was that
an offer Joe?

01/23/05
22:41:22 moneytaker: or a inquiry, I think we can
arrange a pillow for your knees

01/23/05
22:41:25 bfbagain: Viktor, did I tell you that i was at
the GN for the final day?

01/23/05
22:41:35 bfbagain: In and out

01/23/05 22:41:38 bfbagain: I
forgot

01/23/05 22:41:44
Viktor: No, were you in the audience with all of the paid
extras?

01/23/05 22:42:20
nycfudu: dave, you should whine about 6/5 bj on one of these
shows

01/23/05 22:42:25
HollyDave: hey, some of those paid extras turned out to be
pretty nice...

01/23/05 22:42:38
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: JAIL BAIT ALSO

01/23/05 22:42:47 Sun_Runner: that is
why they were paid.

01/23/05
22:42:48 bfbagain: No no no. In the HL room, then I
walked around by the pool when someone said it was going on, and I
saw the black curtains, and out on the street the vans

01/23/05 22:42:49 HollyDave: i did
— there was a blurb i did on this episode of WSoBJ about
it

01/23/05 22:42:54
moneytaker: ROFL

01/23/05
22:43:12 nycfudu: good job.. you're like our voice
now.

01/23/05 22:43:15
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: you find that funny angie

01/23/05 22:43:17 norm: Whining about
6:5 has no chance of making it

01/23/05
22:43:24 HollyDave: it did, though

01/23/05 22:43:33 norm: yeah?

01/23/05 22:43:37 HollyDave:
yup

01/23/05 22:43:46
moneytaker: that you called him out on it

01/23/05 22:44:20 norm: Great —
yell out my website next time

01/23/05
22:44:23 HollyDave: i talked more about it on the
episode of "Caesar's 24/7" i just did

01/23/05 22:44:44 nycfudu: gee
hollywood you're every where these days

01/23/05 22:44:49 norm: Any bit
helps

01/23/05
22:45:02 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: if you want more of me on
TV i will be on Caesars 24/7 Mon. night

01/23/05 22:45:14 HollyDave: you,
regina, henry

01/23/05 22:45:16
norm: is that bringing on the pain

01/23/05 22:45:17 HollyDave:
right?

01/23/05 22:45:22
moneytaker: I also think it was funny that a certain person
not in this room couldn't tell if one of the BJ groopies was a man or
woman

01/23/05 22:45:24
BJSWEETIE Disconnects

01/23/05 22:45:25 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: me
and Regina

01/23/05 22:45:50
nycfudu: i saw the first show caesars. that host guy really
looks like a mobster.

01/23/05
22:46:00 KenSmith: I'll be standing around in the
background. Since they wouldn't let me bet at Caesar's, I talked Swog
into betting for me on his spot.

01/23/05
22:46:05 HollyDave: well, matt v had my seconds and
asked if she was a hooker... all i could say is, "well, she didn't
charge me, so..."

01/23/05 22:46:17
bfbagain: when is the caesars show on?

01/23/05 22:46:27 moneytaker: LOL,
first he asked if it was a man or woman

01/23/05 22:46:31 HollyDave: Monday
nites on A&E

01/23/05
22:46:35 norm: good question

01/23/05 22:46:36 bfbagain:
thanks

01/23/05 22:46:40
Viktor: Unshowered seconds!

01/23/05
22:46:41 HollyDave: can only assure you she was all
woman

01/23/05 22:46:48
HollyDave:

01/23/05
22:46:57 moneytaker: YUCK sticky seconds


01/23/05 22:47:17 norm:
the question is more polite than checking

01/23/05 22:47:25 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
who are we talking about

01/23/05
22:47:29 moneytaker: ROFL, I couldn't either, but I
wasn't about to have sex with her

01/23/05
22:47:45 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: did i have a he-she in my
house

01/23/05 22:47:55
HollyDave: sweetie, trust me, you weren't in the room when i
found out that the proof was, indeed, in the pudding

01/23/05 22:48:00 moneytaker: How would
you ask someone if they are a man or woman?

01/23/05 22:48:17 Bettie:
Dr_Bring_the_Pane, no, the he-she was someone else.

01/23/05 22:48:18 norm: You say "are
you a woman"

01/23/05 22:48:22
moneytaker: Norm?

01/23/05
22:48:24 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: ok

01/23/05 22:48:27 norm: yep

01/23/05 22:48:28 moneytaker:

speaker.. My monster in a box video got worn out.

media whore, man. whatever pays the bills... but i do tend to get
cast in roles where i play a very off-center hollywood-dave-esque
character (go figure, right?), plus i have a theater company that
performs a lot of postmodern stuff...

tourn questions let me know

01/23/05 23:32:59 KidDangerous: I'm

01/23/05 23:36:40 norm: I was waiting
to see you and him together

01/23/05 23:37:07 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: he
was at my house on friday and got out safe and sound


01/23/05 23:37:11
Cardkountr: joe gave some trash talk back to dave on the final
hand......i loved it

01/23/05 23:37:19 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i
was in a good mood

01/23/05

01/23/05 23:37:40 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i
was

01/23/05
23:37:40 KidDangerous: Hey Norm, I wanna tell ya, CVBJ
is the greatest! After using it, I realize how "In the dark
ages" my study tools were.

01/23/05 23:37:51 KidDangerous: It's a
godsend

01/23/05
23:38:02 norm: Thanks. I'll finish it one day


01/23/05 23:38:40
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: position is so important in a
tournament

01/23/05
23:38:41 norm: Pane, I think you were having an effect
in your chatter in the last few hands

01/23/05 23:38:42 Cardkountr: norm ever
think about giving a seminar about how to use CV?

01/23/05 23:38:47 Laughlin_Marauder:
Norm the new Bill Gates "I will finish windows one of these
days"

01/23/05
23:39:05 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i was and it hurt me


01/23/05 23:39:20
KidDangerous: At night I let the flashcard drill run. It
requires no user button pushing to keep it going. I set it for 4000
rds and literally go to sleep counting cards.

01/23/05 23:39:21 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: he
hit that 13 vs 3

01/23/05
23:39:26 norm: Please, Gates has an apartment across
from me. I may change my thoughts on gun control

01/23/05 23:39:53 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: he
should have stood or surr.

01/23/05
23:40:16 norm: yeah. Unusual moves make sense when
playing with poor players. But, where were the poor players?


01/23/05 23:40:17
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: if he does the dealer breaks and i win


01/23/05 23:40:40
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: none on this show

01/23/05 23:40:40 norm: sorry, medium
players

01/23/05
23:40:42 Cardkountr: joe, your double for less on the
last hand while you trashed talked shut dave up while he tried to
concentrate lol

01/23/05
23:41:00 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i know

01/23/05 23:41:21 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i
got lucky enough to get multible bets out

01/23/05 23:41:24 Cardkountr: and what
made it harder........he couldn't see your double card


01/23/05 23:42:48
Cardkountr: ok joe now for the real question......what effect
do you think your tv appearance will have on you playing in the
casinos?

01/23/05
23:43:20 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i think im going to be
toast

01/23/05
23:43:33 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: in as far as my bj
play

01/23/05
23:43:35 Cardkountr: is it worth it?

01/23/05 23:44:22 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i
was pretty much toast before the show thats why i made a decesion to
do it

01/23/05
23:44:40 Cardkountr: back in the late 80's i won
several tourneys back to back and then couldn't play for a number of
years afterwards because of it

01/23/05 23:45:27 norm: CK really. I
thought most casinos kind of ignored tourney players


01/23/05 23:46:10
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: they hate tourney players


01/23/05 23:46:25
Cardkountr: Norm.......in fact after i won one of the tourneys
in **.......they had pics spread out on a bacarat table in the high
limit room discussing which players were counters

01/23/05 23:46:55 norm: Casino managers
are idiots

01/23/05
23:47:02 Cardkountr: that's a given

01/23/05 23:47:15 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
casino think that all tourney players are counters

01/23/05 23:47:37 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
there are some casino mgr that are very sharp

01/23/05 23:47:46 Cardkountr: well they
are somewhat right........many tourney players are counters


01/23/05 23:47:48

tourneys

01/23/05

01/23/05 23:48:51
Cardkountr: hehehe

01/23/05 23:48:53 Dr_Bring_the_Pane:
stardust is the worst in dealing with tourn players


01/23/05 23:49:20
Cardkountr: i've had casinos refuse my tourney entry......they
just didn't want me around period!

01/23/05 23:49:39 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: i
have been there also

01/23/05 23:49:44 Dr_Bring_the_Pane: 2
many times

01/23/05
23:49:53 norm: Of course many tourney players are
counters. But they can't hurt the casino in a tourney


01/23/05 23:49:54
Dr_Bring_the_Pane: told no bj tourn

01/23/05 23:50:48 norm: It's like Pai
Gow Poker or Poker rooms. If they can get the players to play against
each other; what do they care?

01/23/05 23:51:05 Cardkountr: no but
the casinos don't want a counter to win anytime.......even in a
tourney. they hate us

01/23/05 23:51:34 norm: They need to
understand the concept of a loss-leader.

01/23/05 23:51:43 norm: but i'm
preaching....
