Re: PokerStars Barcelona EPT, Live Update, DAY TWO

[ariston]

I only nipped out for a meal and I missed loads. Nice pic of famous players arse, vondutch jeans hmmmm You are a brave man taking that pic Tikay  
Gus Hansen is originally from Denmark but now officialy lives in Monte Carlo but like most of these players he spens all his life living out of a suitcase. Can't recall who says he was a lucky player but please keep thinking players like Gus are just lucky. I dont think I have met a more mathmatical player and he is probably one of the most intelligent people you could ever talk to about poker. If Gus and Daniel N are just lucky how come they win year after year in the biggest tournaments? Must just be the luckiest guys on the planet I suppose. Next time you watch him on TV as he bobs his head- he is working out every possible variable on the hand, not just nodding for effect. If you are going to make a move on a Gus type player you better make sure you have enough chips to seriously hurt him as he wont mind gambling with you if the odds are correct (allin for aything less than 10% of his stack and hes calling you I promise with any 2).
Oh and finally - TIKAY GET SOME BLOODY WORK DONE LAZY ARSE

good comments

OOps, sorry Ariston. OK, Seat allocations.

Seat 1, Gus Hansen

Seat 2, Patrick Mortensen

Seat 3, Jan Boubli

Seat 4, Romain Feriolo

Seat 5, Christer Johnsson

Seat 6, Patrick Antonius

Seat 7, Anton Bergstroem

Seat 8, Dario Alioto

Come on then, what's the 1-2-3?

Anyone gets it right - one winner only - blonde will give you free entry into the next blonde Tourney. Not much £££'s, but just a bit of fun really.

EV doesnt really count in tourneys IMO hotdog- cash games yes but tourneys come down to battling stack sizes. If Gus is huge chip leader this could be a massacre, then again he could still finish 8th. The difference between players like gus, atit, thewy, camel and co is that they are trying to win the tournament from the start, they are Gambling with your chips anyway if they have a huge stack- how do you think they get 700k in tourneys? They haven't had aces 73 times I can guarantee it.

1-gus
2- boubli

It was me who said he is lucky,  Never mentioned Daniel N though.
You keep getting involved in big pots with someone all in and another with a massive stack  with 9-3 o/s and all your odds wont save you in the long run.

And for a winning player, that is money invested in poker and money returned, well Gus may tell you different.
