DTD Streamed Cash game TONIGHT

[Tal]

DC game might be of interest if the commentators are able to explain the variants to the audience.

I think the comments about the game being out of people's comfort zone are just wrong tbh. Everyone there (except sean i think) has played in bigger games than that and I personally can't remember any play I thought was particularly passive.

Thing is like people have said it's a cash game not a tournament, the objective isn't really to try and win every chip on the table and play is always naturally a bit more cautious because mistakes are much more expensive for the most part in cash games over tournaments (except when you're deep ofc)

I think the PLO one will make great viewing, more all-ins and (semi)bluffs in PLO than in nlhe games for the most part.

dont think the DC will work on the stream

dont think the DC will work on the stream

The arguments would be epic though.  Need the mics sorted for that

This is part of the reason the lower-stakes games might actually make better viewing.  Worse players, sitting shallower, means more action, more fun for the viewer.  Possibly.

god yh, it's all that splitting the pot that makes everyone so grumpy

Also having it at high stakes instantly narrows the options for who will play, and how loose they will play.

Yeah, I think a 1/1 or 1/2 streamed game will be more interesting for viewers potentially - especially as they're capped and therefore people aren't playing as deep (at least not to start with), so that will generate more action.

I think that will be even less interesting, imo.

I'm with Camel, think it's boring as really.

Was going to watch the stream yesterday but didn't & not really sure I will now I know some of the stuff that has happened.

mmm I don't agree, the reason the game on friday wasn't that exciting was nothing to do with the stakes or the stack sizes, imo. Sometimes poker games are a bit boring, this was one of them...

So less interesting than something you didn't watch anyway?  Not really sure you're the target audience then...

I don't think there will be much money on a 1/1 table for people to see some decent pots.

I might watch this 2/5 now and again, but won't be watching the one from Friday as I stupidly read some of the stake thread from Alex and Dave, which kinda spoils it.

The 1/1 games are capped at £250, and I don't think the dollar-amount is that key for viewers.  The £2/5 is hardly High Stakes Poker, but it still generated interest.  Lots of people play the £1/2 game (capped at £500) or the 1/1 (capped at £250), and the fact that it's capped means that people aren't sat 500BB deep (at least not to start), meaning that there should be more 'exciting' action for the rec viewer (i.e. all-ins).

Also, the 1/1 or 1/2 game would have more people wanting to play, and there could be a constant stream of players on the waiting list so the table is always full and active.

Think there's an argument for all the different levels to be streamed really.

Will there be a streamed cash game this Friday night.

Can't imagine it running as DeepStack Day 1b on?

worse players you say. Rob and Richard made that stream interesting and fun for the neutral and gave them what they wanted. I would not say they were bad players by any stretch of the imagination and they captivated the audience.

Personally I would have liked to listen to more of what Skalie and lildave had to say but that's just me.
