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.

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
