Yeah, she seems really cool. No bitchiness, seems to have a solid game, and easy on the eyes.

Galfond's wife lives off residuals, pretty sick life.

Do soap operas have residuals?
Soap operas syndicate?
(I don't know)

Angleshooter adds on $400,000 for some reason

33% of the table are now doing laps around the table, literally

Jackie always does this angle. Probably has other angles up his sleeve too. Not sure why people like him tbh. Not just the angles, but personally I find him annoying and cocky. In a lot of casinos forward motion is binding, not in Vegas though.

I feel as though they are constantly making new soap episodes and dont air a lot of re-runs.

That's what I thought. I thought they have a new episode every day, maybe they do like a 3 month hiatus a year and re-run.
I'll ask my mom...

Farah has tweeted that Jackie apologized, and that they're good.
Dmoongirl tweeted that Jackie did this like 5 times in her episode, I guess I didn't watch/remember/care.

I checked out the hand that dmoongirl was referring to, it's at 4:03 of Moon Magic day one.

Antonio makes a river bet and Jackie tries three consecutive angles (unsuccessfully) to elicit a reaction from Antonio. Jackie has top pair.

After Jackie finally actually makes the call, Antonio gives him the option to chop.

Jackie says no and Antonio turns over a flush.

Absolute GOAT handling of the situation by Antonio IMO.

Also think angleshooters should have no place on PAD...

Jackie should know better than to bull**** a bull****ter. Antonio can be a very capable angle shooter, you just get shot down when you try stuff like that.

Don't know who this Jackie guy is or whether he is a spot or not, but donators get special privileges, and the bigger the game, the more leeway they get.

From what has been described, it was an amatuer hour angle shot anyways. Not worth making a fuss about. Trust me, between putting up with small angles or not playing with the angle shooter, pros are going to choose the angles every time. The only time someone in the game really bitches about it is when a good player angles or they are too aspergers to see the forest through the trees.

Being patient and calm will counteract most angles. Or you can take it to the next level like Antonio and work on your counter angles. Bluffing and the guy is fishing for a reaction? Give it to him!

I seem to remember an old tv hand where someone (maybe durrr) was about to call a Hellmuth bluff and Phil reached for his hand excitedly like Farah did and then Durrr (or whoever it was) pulled back. Durrr wasn't angling, Phil just reacted way too quickly (or did he)? I feel like Durrr (or whoever I'm thinking of) sniffed it out and called anyways. So I guess Phil was angling on the last ditch effort, or was Durrr for pulling back? As far as I'm concerned it's just another poker decision.

Even though I can appreciate a good angle, I was never a shooter myself. I'd sometimes try with friends in a drunken low stakes game for a laugh but could never do it convincingly. It's a skill and only suckers fall for the bad ones.

I remember a HS poker hand where someone made a big river bet vs Antonio that put him in a really tough spot. The bettor ended up burying his head after Antonio stared at him for a few minutes. Antonio ended up folding his hand but not before dropping a decent stack of chips beside his stack to make it sound like he threw chips in to call. The bettor, either luckily or smartly, played it cool and slowly raised his head without saying a word to look for the call and Antonio got no indication either way to help his decision.

Time stamp?

Those of us who listen to the PokerCast have known Farah for a while now, as she has appeared with Phil on that show a few times. Probably very few negative words said about her.

You are correct.

As for residuals, they do exist for soaps (or "daytime serials," as they are officially known), since episodes will re-air in international markets, or get reused by the network. But my understanding is that the residuals are tiny compared to, say, a network sitcom. Networks and affiliates don't bend over backwards to get the licenses for old episodes of, say, Sunset Beach.

The funny thing is that there might be a small market for such things. GSN vintage episodes of old quiz shows, which I assume appeals to either nostalgia (e.g. someone who grew up watching Press Your Luck) or curiosity (e.g. catching a then-unknown Vanna White on The Price Is Right). I occasionally look out for the episode when one of my college friends on the Showcase Showdown, for example.

It seems like Soap Opera Network could pick up older serials for the same reasons. If so, then there would be a few extra shekels headed to the actors and writers.

pump faking is allowed in a lot of homegames and is too lowbrow to be bothersome. it's certainly nothing like hiding chips or being left handed.

Day 1, roll to about the 1:58 mark. They replay it later, but the first time around you see everyone's reactions to it. Perkins gets a ruling from the floor at the 2:02 mark.

Edit: by the way, there was a moment on either PAD or HSP when Jamie Gold did the reverse. He was bluffing, but when his opponent said something that suggested a call, he said "Call?" and quickly moved for his cards as if to table the nuts. So if Jackie used that move to get a read, Jamie's move would have elicited the incorrect play.

in the moment, i didnt blame farah for falling for the fake. but if jackie has done it before, someone in her life should have warned her.

Hopefully there's a new person in the game tonight

Sticking Farah in seat one is criminal

Is JRB at a poker game or an all-white Labor Day party?

RIP Kleiner

We'll take a 10 minute break while 6 "High level players", a dealer, and a floor-man count someone's stack 9 times while people argue.
OMG, now we're recounting Klein's rebuy again

i think thats a good idea:

Something insane just happened.

Wow...
JRB somehow chops a $276K pot

Old man Bright straddles, JRB is dealt AQ and decides late to double straddle without looking and checks his straddle for some reason.

Bright has 65o

AA6r
Berkey leads
Bright flats
JRB raises to 10K
Bright calls.

6s (Spade 4 flush available)
They get it in, JRB cries that he thinks it's a chop.

They run it twice
J
6 - Bright Quads

LOL

Did JRB not lecture people about straddling this session?

This is ridiculous results oriented thinking.

Sizing smaller on a super draw heavy board out of position? And then playing bluff catcher with 2nd set because you got raised by a player very capable of making moves (an any hand making moves in this spot is likely to have a handful of outs)?

It's a set vs an unlikely straight in a 3bet pot. **** happens.
