That's funny because I got exactly the opposite vibe from him in that spot. He looked like he knew he was going to get beat and wanted to have Doyle watch to get some sympathy.

This was my read as well. You look at his body language and actions after the check-raise - he knows he is beat. Gus Hansen is just not doing this with 95 or 65 or whatever everyone else thinks he might do. Still, I feel it's one of those folds that certainly could be made, but that most players, even the best, cannot make.

I certainly think that he thought he was probably beat, but I doubt that he was looking for some sympathy. I think that he was just looking for a little respect (quiet) while he made a big decision.
