Poker News and Live Streams - Ivey wins 11th Bracelet

Because he’s a useless fruit smoothie?

How can they ban roulette and blackjack computers and with so many tables running?

Huh? Sorry my sarcasm radar sometimes doesn’t work so if this was a joke my bad but I’d take the under on 500 roulette tables operating in the entire city if Las Vegas.

And the casino cares about losing their own money.

They profit directly from table games. The series is a loss leader in banquet halls without that level of surveillance infrastructure

Also the casino cares if you win against them, relative to winning off someone else

Wait. Is it “unenforceable” because FiVe HunDrEd TaBleS or because sad frog profits?

Same point. I asked how not why.

Both.

This is a genuinely stupid debate. It’s obviously unenforceable. You know that. We all wish it was otherwise but it’s not.

As I already correctly pointed out, it was easily enforceable in this case. You seem to be caught up in the weird idea that they won’t catch every cheater in Level 6 on Day 1A. Like,

haha seriously you don’t understand why it matters way more on the last table(s) and not when there’s 8,500 players remaining?

Breaking out the laptop was an angle shot.

If cellphones are the reason the rule is unenforceable, then the laptop is even more unnecessary. Cellphones are more than adequate for looking at hand histories.

Can I interest you in an ass computer?

Nice triple entendre.

Pretty even handed discussion on Polk with keating and Dnegs. Generally agree, we need the rule even though enforcement is close to impossible in most situations.

No one is running sims for spots until ICM matters.

It would be absolutely fine to have a FT specific rule.

I don’t know what you’re considering “sims”, but I can see lots of scenarios where people might want computer assistance to determine shove/call ranges in bubble or ladder spots that could happen well before the final table.

For the record, @WAR has paid me for our hellmuth bet in full.

Tamayo just gave 45 min interview to poker news and whoa boy it’s not great. Basically says he would change nothing and it was all kinda funny.

Why would he change anything?
