Excuse my ignorance, but who is gigabet?

They say he can divine an exact range just by staring into his opponents avatar, instantly calculate EV to 4 decimal places, then ignore the math and push anyway because he has images of a pie being sliced up in his head.

This is true, I've seen him do it.

OK someone please give me the details on the Gigabet fall from glory. I read on here and ITH around a year or more ago then stopped and took a break from poker. At the time I was actively reading Gigabet was something akin to God on these two boards, he would post hand historys with [censored] calls and then explain them with the most vague metaphysical [censored] thinking I have ever read. Still he had some major hero worship going on. So did he come back to earth or what?

There are lots of rumors about him making deals and not paying. I dont know if they are true or whatever. He's not a bad poker player, and he was a full-timer in the early days of online poker, which naturally made him some money.

There is no proof that he is a big winner in today's games, however.

There is no fall from glory. Unfortunately, like most pros, he stopped posting on the boards since everybody is such a douche.
