He is a monster on full tilt. He destroys in the cash games nightly.

[Tornado69]

Yeah and he never really played them until recently but he absolutely is killing them from what I've seen on full tilt.

I'm glad Gus won that hand. He had already lost 100k playing loose but nothing terrible. I had seen the preview, last week and was worried he would be on the wrong end of a cooler.

It was sick. If I were DN I would have thrown up right there at the table.

I think making over $500,000 in props makes it hurt less but still ouch.

okay, I'll be the first idiot to say it:

easy laydown with the 4th nuts.

I don't know if you are joking, but against anyone else (with similar stack sizes) I think Daniel makes this laydown pretty easily. If Antonio did this, Daniel's cards would be insta-mucked. Is Gus really that much of a donkey to play 95, 85, 75, 65 this way? Probably, which is what made Daniel call. I can't imagine this being a bluff ever - not with how the turn action went. Still, what is 95 and 85 value-betting against here - AA? A one-card straight? I don't know how Hansen plays in cash games but if he plays even relatively decent, Negreanu could've thought about it for a long time and folded - I think he just 'had to see' in this instance.

i'm only sorta joking...you reasoned it out pretty well..."had to see" for $176,000? Nah. I'm folding. No way Gus is raising anything other than a hand that can beat Daniel here. 85,57...he calls the river, he doesn't raise with it.

But then, I'm breaking even at $1/$2 NL, so WTF do I know?

Awful cooler. I wonder if Gabe was right in saying Daniel wouldn't have lost that much money to anyone but Gus. Daniel has to figure that there's no way that much money goes in on anything but 9s full or quads, but against Gus, he could be making a crazy play (or so his image suggests).

Zeidman looked awful on the one hand he played. So weak-tight. Looks like E-Dog is taking his spot at some point next week.

I just watched the hand again. On the river after Gus checks, Daniel bet 65k into a pot of approx 160k, Gus calls and raises 167k. If you have sixes full with a rainbow board of 5-5-6-8-9 what are the chances of your hand being good at that point? Is Gus raising 167k with 5-9 5-8 5-6 or maybe even 7-10, the nut straight? The answer I come up with is no, he will just call with any of those hands. Daniel must have thought there's a chance that this is a stone cold bluff.

here's DN thoughts on the hand:


[ QUOTE ]
A surprise player jumped into the game and sat to my right with $300,000 in front of him. No one even knew he was even in town, but Gus Hansen sat to my immediate right.

By that point I had about $600,000 in front of me. Gus made it $2100 to go and I decided to put in a VERY tricky re-raise to $5000 with 66- Gus called.

The flop came 9-6-5 rainbow and I was hoping to win a big one against Gus. He checked the flop to me and I bet $8000. Gus check-raised me $18,000 more and I hesitated, trying to represent an over pair and finally called.

The turn card came a 5 which gave me a full house. This time Gus bet $24,000 and it was time to do a little Hollywood. I wanted to convince Gus that I had a hand like QQ and I think it worked. I just called.

The river came an 8 putting a four card straight on the board. Now Gus checked so it was time for me to figure out how much he was willing to call. I bet $65,000.

Gus said... all in! He raised me another $167,000. Are you serious? If he had 99 or 55, would he REALLY check the river after putting me on an over pair? I called, and Gus turned over 55.
