you are using an HD web cam? no way... quality is like a webcam for YouTube purposes. And no, Microsoft claiming their web cam is HD, doesn't make it so

A lot of players that could be bounties still in the field

Tom Marchese, Little, Cassidy, Gross, Monette, Reiman, Mizzi, Jaka, Seth, Schulman, Sung, Young Man, Charina, Marks, Dardon, Switzer, O'Brien, Keikoan, Others, and HASAN HABIB!

Justin Smith out apparently?

I suspect the bottleneck is on the site and/or software being used to stream it, not the camera itself.

Matt, there should be someone reporting on all the big hands at the web-cam table...tons of bust outs, big plays, and interesting stuff happening

P.S. Thetoilet just busted one guy and doubled up another in almost back-to back hands...both fie huge sums of manyes

P.P.S. love how Kevmath owns the chat room

about time faraz lost one, lol

don't think so...the tech guy was in the chat room yesterday and said the whole set-up cost something like $100...

That doesn't necessarily mean it can't produce a decent picture. The software is buggy and full of memory leaks, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's effectivley downconverting the feed.

Hellmuth the ends day with 530,000

All old-school codgers. The internet-kid bounties all knocked out.

There is something weird about seeing Miami John Cernutto in a hoodie.

www.Bay101Live.com has Videos, updates, and information

for literally 90 minutes at the napt final table, me and 3 other people could not figure out who was miami john. we kept going "dude in the middle in the hoodie can't be him, he looks like he's 21." he finally played a pot and busted and i was like "whoa, he wears hoodies now?"

kingofcards prolly gonna win another live tourney.

That stream is the sh*t, Matt. It would be even better if you could send the feed to one of the tv's in the room.

There must be something magical about them. He made the FT you mentioned, and now he's deep in this one.

Ha, didn't even notice he was in this one, much less still in it.

Comeback of the day was probably rast. Down to 60k, he chipped up to over 300k in about 2 hours. He managed to do a lot of it to the right of bkice and faraz jaka(two chipleaders at the time).

Pretty funny that I did not even know who he was either until late today but at the beginning of day one he came up to mo to complain about "The worst dealer he had ever seen". I assured him that if this dealer was the worst he would not be dealing the tournament as we hand pick the Shooting Star dealers from a group of great dealers at Bay 101.

It turns out that the "worst" dealer is a guy that I personally picked to deal the final table of the Shooting Star tournaments 3 of the 1st 4 years Bay 101 was on the World Poker Tour.

At least he was able to overcome the terrible dealer and is in a good spot to take down another major title.

Eh I was pretty annoyed at the time because he had majorly ****ed up three hands I was involved in over the course of a 20 min span during which i had KK KK and QQ. So i think my complaint was justified.

During one hand I put in 2 back chips with KK, brandon cantu asked the dealer how much I made it and the dealer said I made it 150 when i hadn't said a word. I had headphones on and looked up to see 2 players had thrown in 150. I took my headphones off, said I made it 200 and didn't say anything and the dealer allowed the players to pull back the chips and they quickly folded followed by the dealer pulling my cards into the muck.

On another hand I flatted KK vs an open raise, someone squeezed and I backraised. A player not involved in the hand said something about "a big hand hiding in the weeds" or something and rather then the dealer making a comment about how you shouldnt talk about players hands while at the table he instead seemed to make some off hand comment related to the situation. So yea to date he has been the worst dealer I have encountered in a live 10k buyin tournament.

Don't think its overly professional for you to put that on the forums either way but o well.

It is an HD webcam indeed. It is capable of some HD resolutions... and we're using it for 320x200 video. Bandwidth is the issue... most likely on the uplink side. When we stream at 640x400, people complain that the video is jerky. When it's 320x200, it's smoother, but worse quality. If we are ever in a video with much faster internet, we have the capability to stream at 640x400. If we had really good internet and wanted to pay a few hundred bucks to UStream, we could stream in HD. One nice thing about this camera is the ability to zoom in to any 640x400 part of the HD field of vision, so positioning the camera becomes pretty easy. Microsoft LifeCam Cinema... great buy for $50.

Was not my intent to offend you just to say that I had no idea who you were at the time.

Congratulations on your recent win and good luck later today!

wait, phil hellmuth is the CL? is the sky falling as well?

What an ass.
