the hand occurs about 1\/3rd of the way through, and here’s my blog of the experience of watching and listening to the leadup and the segment.<\/p>\n

glitz for a full minute at the beginning
\nhow the people who talk the game play the game
\nhoward says he’s an analyst
\nmike sexton pushes it doing his thing
\nconversation going at the table
\nthis is not a good idea because conversation at the poker table is desultory
\nblind 200 400
\ngabe in the big blind with 24000
\nlederer on the button 10s 7s with 15000
\nraises to 1200
\nkaplan qs js
\ncall
\nflop 2d Ah 8s
\ngabe checks
\nhoward bets 1300
\ngabe calls<\/p>\n

turn 2h
\nkaplan bets 3000
\nhoward calls<\/p>\n

river Ad
\ngabe checks
\nhoward bets 3000
\ngabe folds
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

in this hand there is a script expressed in the calls and raises
\nas judith donath observes this is communicative betting<\/a>
\nhoward, i’d love you to tell the story in words play by play
\nat each move pause and let clippinger and halperin have their say
\nthis is pure poker<\/p>\n

what did gabe think howard had
\nhow did howard lead gabe to think that<\/p>\n

here’s my morning audio walk transcribed:<\/p>\n

april 27, 2007, i fell off my bike last night, skidded in the rain when i put on the brakes, not too bad considering, felt my helmet hit the pavement, felt the cushion of it, felt my shoulder hit, no cushion. i feel it now. it happened after charles ogletree’s conference salute to john doar<\/a><\/p>\n

knowledge above authority -if knowledge is above authority and wants authority to respond to knowledge wisely how would one best proceed? is it a prisoner’s dilemma in which we are always required to tat? or can we give a little tit without getting carried away. <\/p>\n

what are the ways in which issues press your buttons. what are the issues on which you could loosen up.<\/p>\n

play with digital media that’s the name of our game -michael yap writes back delighted to collaborate in playing with digital media -back to singapore this summer comes state of play -i began this play with you when last i was there walking along that lovely esplanade out in front of the ritz hotel enjoying a weed in the land of lee quan yu and then offering that information to the crew i was teaching cyberlaw to, eight faces from the office of the attorney general at full attention, intelligence engaged -how could singaporeans learn to loosen up, how about coming to jamaica, how could jamaicans learn to tighten up just enough to get the place running right, visit singapore -suppose each were to create the other in virtual reality what would the other look like -could we meet in second life to learn to play poker together <\/p>\n

on the thursday night of the is2k7 conference there is an open slot, a time for people who have had food for thought to sit down and play some poker -suppose we were to play in a newly structured way, suppose we were to record it, make it an asset, fill the airwaves -would we enjoy would we learn.<\/p>\n

my shoulder stiff and aching last night i was up in the middle wathcing tv, watched poker after dark on nbc, saw little new in form over world poker tour but could see a more interesting way of using the talents there on display, wrote to howard this morning to see what he would say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
