Poker Before Dusk [HD]

[@Radiodragonofdoom]

Okay I got into poker during the 2020 quarentine and holy crap this skit is perfect. Like someone on the crew clearly watched several hours of tournament play and took notes.

[@LenweTaralom77]

Is this how Magic sounds to peiple who don't know it?

[@ahva2280]

Maybe.

[@casey6556]

Yes

[@kailikwoh498]

Sometimes. The other times it's "Magic Magic, Magic Magic Magic."

[@MadMontyMN]

Derp derp derp, I'm Alex, this is how I talk!

[@enoughofyourkoicarp]

Yep, it's also how poker sounds normally, so I may not have gotten the full benefit.

[@Robust_Laser]

See Lamont's big mistake was following up the Splish with a Splash. It's easy to bait new players into Taking a Bath from there, but these are the pros here. He should have known that Elway would go for a Twist. The Flip was an okay attempt at recovery,but by then the damage was done. The Gargle was pretty gutsy, but Elway was probably pretty sure he had won at that point anyways.

[@Quroe_]

Yes, but did you consider the Cruise Elroy Mode play?

[@BurleyBoar]

Astonishing how well this fits in. Good work.

[@WLivi]

This continues to be one of my favorite classic-LRR sketches

[@willofbob]

I can't believe Lamont missed that Sally's needle with a Joker-minstrels combo on the seventh flug!

[@TheCrosshare]

willofbob Can't really blame for that, the most logical thing to assume is that the other player has the librarycard and would reverse flug with a weeping willow.

[@Tha3l]

Weren't flunges revised in the '97 Shepherd Decrease?

[@TheCrosshare]

Robo9400 I don't like the new rules coming out in 2017. The whole switch from flunge mechanics back to '99 flup style makes the Knuckle way too important and any inconsistent flaps will totally ruin the un if somebody manages to bring in a knuckleback combo.

[@Tha3l]

Oh wow, don't get me started on the hip-hop rebranding. My main strategy, the Casual Joker Flash was unplayable for decades!

[@Tha3l]

They would need a huge overhaul. We played those rules for a month at my local casino. All I can say is - try using those rules with some friends and always tingle the hipper. You'll see what I mean.

[@simplegarak]

I am immensely impressed they had an actual card from the monty python holy grain ccg. I thought I was the only one.

[@NaibutekiNaisou]

DIdnt even realize that was a thing :O

[@Antimuffin]

I'd almost forgotten about Viking Secret Wildcard Poker! God this sketch is good.

[@LiamAnthony_]

To be fair, this has made more sense than a lot of games of Magic that I've played.

[@hornylink]

+Liam Anthony what kind of possiblity storm/knowledge pool bullshit nonsense decks do your friends play?

[@LiamAnthony_]

hornylink I'm insulted you'd call my deck bullshit, and imply that it's my friends who play it. I'll have you know that the Possibility Storm / Perplexing Chimera combo is beautiful.

[@ahva2280]

And weird. Newer heard of Perplexing Chimera before this. Maybe add a Meletis Charlatan.

[@LiamAnthony_]

ähvä Hmm, that would be weird.... I like it!

[@gavinli1368]

Who’s back on this video after the Potato episode of Loading Ready Live?

[@jadedtrekkie]

Oh, Bill. We miss you.

[@MrThewooter]

Remember, Paul is 5ft9.... he was truly a giant among men, women and poker players.

[@IanWeaver]

I still love the absurdity of this. So well done.

[@avramlevitter6150]

RIP Bill.

[@johnn1199]

This was a fun sketch. I miss Bill.

[@NonRandomUser]

This video really deserves more views. Was really rooting for Wesker and his Complete Poker Saturation.

[@AdrianCeroni]

I don't know if this was intentional but I followed this game just as well as any other poker/sporting match. Well done.

[@michaelkeenan2307]

2019: got an ad for a poker master class on this video, bless the youtube algorithm.

[@wistemoor9671]

2020. Still getting poker master class ads. #BlessTheAlgorithm

[@CentaurProductions]

2020, two months later. Same thing. Looking forward to the next update.

[@andreasbuehler1821]

At least no one had the Dowager of Bees.

[@highhentaiexplosionfnorfen8857]

Indeed. If it had been the pants card, then they’d have to move to ports, and it would’ve just dragged on and on.

[@Drecon84]

I remember seeing this the first time and being completely overwhelmed by it. Now I can kind of follow along... Kind of.

[@atreides213]

Yeah, but if Lamont had held out until the reshuffle, there was a chance of Capernicous coming up in the knuckle, giving him extra hitpoints for a shot at the Big Dive. It was a claculated risk.

[@stefanhulaj51]

I wish we had a video game for viking secret wild card poker. Oh well, I guess I'll play Balatro until then.

[@FennecManEXE]

God, this is like the Calvinball of poker. And it is glorious.

[@XoIoRouge]

This was an amazing skit! Needs a revisit!

[@staley101]

I miss the old skits like this 👍🏻

[@Duraxy]

When Bill stood up at the end... I knew Bill was BIG, but just wow

[@staley101]

Yea I mean Paul isn't tiny but he had a good foot on him.

[@astro3235]

So, is this just Calvinball for adults?

[@blackblood9095]

Omg someone else gets that! YOU ARE MY FRIEND!

[@Moondoox_]

This is an excellent sketch.

[@Superbajt]

Back after similar crapshot

What? I don't see a difference to real TV poker. Except that this was a bit faster paced.

[@chocokittybo]

Yeah, but still he should have gone with a Slice rather than a Flip, it would've gotten less points in the long run but it would be much safer, and he'd probably be less likely to have Elway try a Gargle.

[@WindyDelcarlo]

Casually flip an elder dragon. If only it weren't this one

[@DamienE11]

At least with Vaevictis Lamont could have Junded him out if the flunge came up right.

[@edwardraven1414]

I’m back here far too often

[@NoahCRP]

I never noticed the words that Paul mouths at the end, but it really looks like he's saying "your balls, my mouth" which is just delightful.

[@paulchapman8023]

His hand gestures imply the same thing.

[@HazmanFTW]

Magic magic magic magic maaaagic

[@TheWAYF]

Me first watching this sketch: It makes no sense and that's the point. It really is how sports commentary sounds to people who don't know it. Me now: The Pants card is a Wild card... Lamont's Joker is anti-Wild... HMMMMM

[@SkyCapatanio]

Black Books reference. I love you.

[@keab42]

Thanks to Paul on the 16/8/24 Friday Night Paper Fight for reminding me about this video.

[@tomneilson9501]

where are the full rules to this game? Me and my friends have got the basics but we're confused what happens when a blue eyes white dragon hits the table

[@nicholasfoster1247]

Did anyone else notice that Jer keeps swapping between glasses/no glasses between shots?

[@alexcohen700]

Good Lord Bill was tall

[@treasureberry7154]

LOL the vevictus asmadi

[@MisterFiend]

this is exactly what the poker on tv sounds like to me.

[@MagicarpOFFICIAL]

"Magic magic magic"

[@paulchapman8023]

Poker poker poker.

[@chrism312]

UUUUNOOO!!!!!!!!

[@geraldtoaster8541]

black books reference on point

[@Ludonym]

I didn't catch it what was the reference

[@geraldtoaster8541]

vincent migliore Mrs bun the baker's wife

[@Ludonym]

Gerald Toaster Thanks yeah didn't even notice it.

[@CoreviZecter]

@hidnshadows it's actually an 08 vid from LRR website

[@LiPolygon]

this sketch is almost indistinguishable from a Friday Nights clip if you don't understand MtG

[@idodo32]

this is preaty much how i used to hear magic before i started playing :P

[@echonov]

pure awesomeness

[@alexr9280]

TEACH ME!

[@proto303]

holy shit they actually did it!

[@christiangarza8122]

Back during the 25th anniversary

[@Zarisification]

Damn how tall was bill?

[@Repaurcas]

continentel?🧐

[@aptspire]

Can you recharge Mana during Flaps? thanks :D

[@josephnewberry9290]

Mrs. Bun the Baker's Wife? Someone else has seen Black Books, I see.

[@nathanlonghair]

I don’t get the joke… but then I never played poker

[@litkakashi]

the black books reference . gj

[@Spyderfarmerman]

What was This?

[@TheMakerMusic]

omg that was great :D

[@haeilsey]

can you ever tell the full rules, i think i could make some money here

[@Sandalphonium]

+TransHailey It's public. If you googled it we wouldn't be talking here.

[@JoLiKMC]

It's so sad that I actually understood everything that happened in this game.

[@JonaxII]

Joseph Collins enlighten me.

[@bergec0]

Cattle-mulcher?

[@paulchapman8023]

Turning dead cattle into mulch, I would guess.

[@ColdGamersProdutions]

i want this to have rules

[@hidnshadows]

he says the champion for 2008, but it was made in 09.

[@DanieleGiorgino]

Classic.

[@LastDawn79]

So silly, but oh so good :)

[@NinjaMoogle218]

See, I'd be better with THIS poker than actual poker. and THAT is sad... I was expecting someone to literally bet the farm. Like, one of those Fisher-Price miniature farms with the buttons that made the animal noises? You know, just lays it down on top of the memory card with compromising pictures of Gandhi, hits one of the buttons as his hand slinks out of frame.

[@paulchapman8023]

Or a copy of Animal Farm by George Orwell; that would be easier to put on the table. …he says 13 years or so too late…

[@DrAngryMongoose]

Anyone else play Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers? It's this but Blackjack

[@MattIsAMage]

so thats what its like for non-magic players to watch a game.

[@slack3r9]

is it sad that i could follow that? haha

[@jakem4795]

2019?
