Omg, tc's righteous libertarian wrath in response to Adam getting convicted in a secret court err, not informed of the court's decision would/will be something to behold.

I don't know anything about Canadian politics but I feel as happy knowing that the Harper guy that won't let TC vote lost as I do when AFC Borne Mouth win!

No

Another decent show guys - personally lost interest in Dreyfus/GPL pretty quickly and fast forwarded through most of it, I've decided to take the cynical line on the GPL, I just feel it's trying to make poker something that it absolutely isn't - but happy to be proved wrong!

Pete (and Adam). While I don't claim a great knowledge of British idioms I do know that the term 'heads up', at least over here in the west, is a common iteration, a warning, a demand of someone's attention, be it on the ball diamond, the gridiron, the slopes, the street, the classroom, in an alley or on the ice. A 'heads up' display is just that.

Just because the officer doesn't show up, it doesn't mean you have a free pass. I have a good track record of fighting tickets in court, but the one time I lost the officer wasn't even there.

Wiki disagrees:
The idea is you can keep your head up looking out of the window, whilst looking at the data.

Precisely. Head up means you are already looking up and you don't need to look down.
Heads up means you're looking down but you really need to be looking up.

There's a difference.

It's become similar to the could/couldn't care less situation. The incorrect version becomes so commonplace that it somehow becomes acceptable to the degree that people using it actually believe the correct version to be incorrect.

Also, RedLetterman, I'd be interested to know your definition of 'the west'. Does it not include European countries west of the old Berlin Wall?

At least my check on the flop was ok

Played 1 street more than usual correctly

Lol nice.

I think the main difference is like the use of "color" and "colour". If you look at books and articles about US aircraft going back to the 1980s, data and graphics projected into the field of vision of the pilot have consistently been referred to as a "heads-up display", though you can find both in use even at Boeing.

An article from 2008 on the RA-5C Vigilante, first flown in 1958, mentions that it was the "First production use of HUD (Heads-Up Display) in cockpit".

Then again, maybe @PokercastAdam could just avoid confusion by adopting @alex_dreyfus's usage of "Duel" for two players battling it out. Unless he said "Dual".

Was never political. You are in the UK.
Over here meant west of you. Western hemisphere, northern climes.

Perhaps Alex could take his proposal to shark tank and appeal to Cuban directly. Over under is about 40 seconds before the famous " I'm out..." From Cuban.

Good luck, his best bet is to get interest from one of the new cable sports channels in US.

Get a conditional contract then use that to leverage owners. It's a chicken and egg thing.

The other option is to down scale the numbers, then twitch stream it to prove an audience base

Did anyone else think that isildur pooping on a room service plate or an MMA fighter defacating was the perfect segway to the talk of Poo-tin and Russia??

Nice!!

I think it was this episode you were talking about the rumours of PS buying a hud firm. All I can say is, I'm glad someone is listening, and I'm available for a very reasonable consultancy fee:

(From May this year, although I'm pretty sure I've banged on about it for a couple of years)

Interesting to hear Alex Dreyfus share his plans with the GPL. While some of his views were optimistic, I think his idea of using a chess clock is genius.

A chess clock drastically improves the issue of stalling that exists today. If you made it so that players had 10 seconds to act before their time bank activates, it would make poker much more interesting to watch. If a player used up their 10 minutes in the first hand, they would have 10 seconds to act in the remaining actions for the entire tournament and his hand is ruled dead after 10 secs.

Ok, I'll bite at this probable level.

You mean like the time bank in online poker that we've had for years?

The use of a chess clock in live poker is a far from new idea. I've heard it proposed countless times over the years.

Not a level, I genuinely think his proposed chess clock system is different/better than the current time bank system you see on Stars.

In a Pokerstars (or pretty much any online poker site) tournament, you get a base amount of time (as much as 30 seconds) to act on each decision before your time bank kicks in. There are players who wait for the maximum amount of time for every hand while not depleting their time bank.

During the bubble, a significant # of players employ this strategy and a hand takes 2-3 minutes to play.

If your time bank kicked in immediately, or almost immediately (i.e. 5-10 seconds), you speed up the game drastically.

I am sitting in a coffee shop in town, listening to the Podcast when I hear the talk of poop at PCA and then TChan chimes in with the post-submission poop story and I LOL and pause the podcast to catch my breath and wipe my eyes because my childish sense of humor does not allow me to not laugh while hearing about poop.

A few other customers look at me and wonder what's going on and I just point to my earbuds as if to say "I'm just listening to something funny."

So I restart the podcast and the very next thing brought up by Adam is Putin and I just buried my head in my hands and laughed and laughed and laughed until it went away.

Good stuff.

thanks for the shout out Adam. im a few episodes behind (real life plus travel plus ****ty mobile phone data limits in australia ftl) but im maintaining my streak of listening to every pokercast since u guys moved to 2p2. in case anyone cares, id been a mod since like 2005 but pretty much burned out at poker and real life (work, family etc) is now my priority (plus i was never that good at poker anyway).... but ill def be remaining a pokercast listener. its my link to the pokerworld and makes it easy for me to have some idea of whats up with the global poker scene without spending hours on the internet. keep up the great work A, T n R.

also the feelings mutual DougL. i hope micros is still chugging along. as u guys say the forum would be nothing without its good mods. go team!

Ozi

ps new sne hands please. stop playing the same few over and over in breaks. its tilting. cheers
pps thumbs up to the Rosco report.

Pity I'm not good enough to fold in this spot ... or is that the Rosco Report?

It's unlikely there will be new SNE hands, as you will find out when you catch up the last few episodes.
