The funk for Barny Boatman

[DropTheHammer]

Yes I'm watching on the 'live' video stream.  Last night I was watching the affable Sam Ravazi get allin in a great spot but learned his unfortunate fate from someone posting his demise on the rail before all the tanking had finished on the stream.

Maybe don't look at the rail while watching the stream?

Well, I guess I can't then. Which is a shame because I thought this was a 'funk for Barny' thread to discuss it? But how can people if the results are posted way before people read/watch it for themselves?

Night.

Does knowing the result really matter?

Do you watch Match of the Day?

Sometimes I watch MOTD without knowing an of the results. It's incredible.

In 1975 that was possible.

In 2015 I can scarcely believe you.

How does anyone avoid the Premier League results for 6 hours? Haven't you got bets on?

[mondatoo]

I fade MOTD scores all the time, no facebook = not that hard.

If I had a bet on then that would be even better reason to fade scores for the sweat.

Don't turn the computer on? Don't talk to friends? Don't listen to the radio?

DON'T WATCH SOCCER FREAKING SATURDAY?

Impossible I wait 6 hours to discover the fate of a bet.

Instant gratification ftw

To be fair it's the only episode anyone remembers

I've given up playing poker and am now a professional railer!

I had my tablet railside and so we had the stream on that for any interesting hands or comments.  A few small things came up during the time which were relayed to Barney, mainly the commentators seemed to be funking for him as he was the only guy trying to make something happen of the three.  They were so deep when they went three handed that the short stack had 40 bb, Barny 80bb and chip leader well over 120bb I think.  This caused a knock on effect and it lasted five hours until the frenchman had survived a few all ins to get back to alive and then get chipped away again by the other two, Barny made a few moves and one helluva good value bet with 88 on 95292 vs A5.


Unfortunately it was not to be and after him saying "I know they now know I've not had it in those big spots let's find a good hand and get some chips back" he then runs AQ into AK. After his preflop holdings all day he felt like AQ was the nuts.... couldn't find one more miracle but he was so happy and smiley afterwards - "I'm knackered anyways, I really want to get to sleep".

Only met him once briefly before today and he's such a nice guy... Really pulled out some good poker and obviously had a few big hands to get him there but played the final table like a pro.

Congratulations Barny!

(not a criticism of you, more a comment on the ethics of streams/rails/sharing info etc)

do we think that railers being allowed to view the stream and relay stuff to the players is really appropriate?

i know the 30 minute delay helps but its short enough that reads, hand info etc can be passed on and really affect gameflow, the way the tournament plays out

shouldn't anyone in the rail area be stopped from viewing the stream as we do at home, mobile phones off players for duration of the final too etc etc?
