Re: PokerStars Barcelona EPT, Live Update, DAY TWO

Maybe Gus knew the pot was going to be checked down, I dont think there  was any real action between the deepstacks if I read it right. About him being a winning player- didn't realise you knew gus but there are not many players who have won as much in tournament poker over the last 3 years- if he could just avoid the big cash game at bellagio he would be ok   He doesn't really care about the money when he's in tournaments which gives him a huge edge over players looking at the telephone numbers on the prizefunds nowadays.

brilliant pics tony!

Imagine our stacks if we had aces 73 times, i think u can get put in that bracket russ... i agree with russ on the gus point tho he is defo alot better than people think! If he feels he's priced in he's in, and he trusts his read! also he has to think he can outplay alot of people which gives him an incentive to enter pots! how many 9-3's do u here about that he did'nt show to get those chips!

I'll go...

You have hit the nail on the head with your last comment, about the money. That is a massive edge  which to his credit he takes great advantage of, where the average joe only gets to play a few major events each year. I know a lot of world class pro's , some share your thoughts  , some mine. Lets review this in a couple of years

The players are being introduced to the waiting crowd now. I can't hear the anouncements, & I can't see the table from here. Gonna be a NIGHTMARE, this.

But i tell you what - GREAT atmo, huge cheers when they introduced the players. Really nice. I just hope we  don't get the WSOP ESPN treatment - "quiet please - we don't want to ruin the TV Recording"........

Can I have a guess . . ?
1,7,2 can you back against Gus?

Great reports TK.

[I KNOW IT]

Just noticed Ariston that you have Gus's motto as your signature at bottom of posts

Ian I have played the same way for years and I know your natural game too, great to convert people like womble round to our way of thinking   I changed wombles game with one 10 minute exercise one drunken afternoon- I will share it with you next time we meet

I can comment on the Gus thing, if you dont take chances to get the chips, and you dont gamble w/ the chips once you get them you cant win. I laugh at players in Atlantic City this week when I had 18,000 in chips and I played my 4/7 twice to CALL allins for 2,200 once and 2,700 another time. I want to takeout as many players as possible. If Gus knocks out the 1st 2 players it will be done.

I also take on the same players over and over, I have doubled up guys 3 or 4 times in 1 event only to take the 4 or 5th crack at them to knock them out. They are usually so tight their stack always goes down to a "shorter" stack that I can bully and gamble with.
