Default Gigabet - A class act

I watched some of the episode last night and I have greater respect for Darryl than I did previously. Things that I noticed about him.

He is respectful - he doesn't have to resort to overtly berating other players. He lost to Brunson when he was way ahead and simply said "Good hand Mr. Brunson"

Emotionally detached - This guy plays his game, makes his decisions and lets the cards fall as they may. He doesn't jump out of his chair and act a fool like a lot of these characters. He has confidence in his correct decisions and there is nothing else to do.

Thoughtful, strategic, calculated - When you read gigabets stuff, you need to digest, regurgitate, and re-digest to really understand what he is getting at. This guy understands strategy on all levels and can execute on them at every level. He underestand odds, he understands risk management better than anyone.

I really think that we are going to see a lot from gigabet, it is my opinion that Gigabet will quietly emerge as a poker star who's celebrity becomes secondary.

Yes. Even if he's gay (like they say) it doesn't matter. He's the real deal.

See, I thought he looked better than I expected. When I first heard "Internet player from Iowa" I was expecting to see a pale 300-pound dude who looked like he subsisted entirely on beef and corn.

The only real-live name that was ever actually offered up as evidence is Scott Fischman. Here's a PM I got from Scott when I asked him about the subject (back when he was hanging around here arguing with the apes in the monkey house and plugging his site):

<<<>>>
From: scottfischman

well i have only been reading the [censored] they write about me..and i hate doing that anyway,,,,there is no way i am gonna spend time reading about giga....all i can say is...i am still good friends with him...he is a GENIUS!! with out any doubt...and ANY post he has EVER made you should def apply to your own game...not to mention re-reading it like 8 times cuz i know he can be somewhat in depth and confusing at times... his intelligence and dedication to the game far outweigh that of ANY other player.
PS i am not too handy with the way this works...is there anyway that you can put your question to me about giga and then add my reply to it...and add it to where they do all the shittalking....then send me a link so i can find it? thanks man
<<<>>>


You know this is him because there's no way I could make up that writing style. So I'm not saying Giga didn't rip anyone off. But all I've ever heard is one concrete name, and that person seems to bear no ill will. Make of it what you will.
