Gus \"higher levels of thinking\"
 

I don't understand how Daniel N and other players say Gus is a brilliant mind, making complex mathematical decisions in his poker. This sh!t just don't seem right.

hand 1: put opponent on 67
hand 2: set

Re: Gus \"higher levels of thinking\"
 

2nd hand is so standard wtf

Re: Gus \"higher levels of thinking\"
 

On 'higher levels of thinking'. Let's imagine for a moment Gus really was just a high stakes fish, slowly spewing away his millions from donkament wins in the cash games. Would we expect Daniel N and others to then refer to him as some random donator, or as a brilliant mind capable of making tough decisions that really seem counterintuitive at a superficial glance.

Re: Gus \"higher levels of thinking\"
 

True. But they could remain silent, as opposed to spew bullsh!t about how he's a deep, mathematical thinker. I think he's just a degen that has access to mass cash.

Re: Gus \"higher levels of thinking\"
 

Gus is a gigolo. He makes millions per year sleeping with wealthy older women and donks some of it off at the poker tables.

Re: Gus \"higher levels of thinking\"
 

hes not born rich....he made money playing poker....he plays high variance style...but he's rich from poker imo

Re: Gus \"higher levels of thinking\"

Re: Gus \"higher levels of thinking\"

Re: Gus \"higher levels of thinking\"
 

He isnt smart person, but is damn lucky. Just like other idiot said before, he is complete idiot.

Re: Gus \"higher levels of thinking\"
 

THIS POST IS MAKING MY BRAIN HURT.


let me explain... this is simple... in omaha u dont fold ur cards on the flop for a less than pot size bet. it doesn't have anything to do with math or being a good player or anythiugn like that.

not in cashgames thats for sure.



u mean he was the first loose-aggressive player in tournaments(was he?)?




he is or at least was a highrankd backgammonplayer so i dont doubt hes got the math nailed what the hell is he doing on the omaha tables?

Re: Gus \"higher levels of thinking\"
 

Zomg I saws a hand ons intertubes and Gus Hansen was playing omaha and called someones crying all in which was only half pot size on a insignificant board zomg he must be pretending.

Re: Gus \"higher levels of thinking\"
 

Correct, Gus Hansen was the first loose aggressive tournament player. Stu Ungar learned a lot from him.

Re: Gus \"higher levels of thinking\"
 

oh wait i see antonius almsot up double to ivey in just a few K mor hands.

how did crymeariver8 go? its was supposedly antonius as well right?


how does those things get out anyway? confirmed or just specualtion becuase of playignstyle and being abig winner at the same time as the last username disappears?

Re: Gus \"higher levels of thinking\"
 

Gus is an Omaha fish.
He doesn`t understand the game and his short stack play is laughable.

In a nutshell, he plays NLHE tournament at the PLO cash tables.
Too funny.

Re: Gus \"higher levels of thinking\"
 

tons more people played laggy after his tv appearances is what i meant.. obv there always were a few laggy players, but most people played a lot tighter than they do today.he obv sucks at playing cash [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
