Re: PokerStars Barcelona EPT, Live Update, DAY TWO

About Gus, two things.

1. He knows everyone knows he plays all kinds of cards, therefore he's far more likely to get his big hands paid off than Johnny ABC.

2. There are rumours that Gus ran into a bad run of luck/got found out* in big cash games in Vegas and went broke. There are tales of Doyle Brunson lending him 4 million dollars, or something. Someone obviously has faith in his skills.

He's certainly a very divisive player - personally I like him.

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

If you worry about the money at all you are dead, thats why I dont make deals and I dont look at the payouts, it does not matter, i play the people at the table and the cards that are dealt. Thats why the guy folded QQ against my 22 four handed at the final table at the WSOP this year, the worst lay down I have ever been a part of.

Great coverage as usual TK.

I go for 5, 1, 4

Was your TT against my J-4 not a pretty awful one Rookie?

Didnt get unlucky or found out his game just doesnt suit a cash game- especially one where players regularly lose a million in a night. He is IMO one of the best NL tournament players in the world. In cash he is allegedly a bit of a fish.

Thats great  WSOP  that you dont look at the pay outs, but unfortunately 90% have to.
But I agree that is a big edge for your game.
Look forward to seeing your final when it comes on our screens.

and this is why the rookie plays no cash games, my game is not suited for it, once they have your $$$$$$$$$$$$$ it takes time to get it back, I would rather play 10 $10,000 events and try to win one
