IMO his posts are still his posts. I've always taken them and evaluated them for their content, not from an argument-by-authority. I've gotten a lot out of the discussions that he's had with various people on here, and gossip central doesn't really change that.

I like how whenever someone says, "Not to start [censored]," that is exactly his intention. Classless.

take it NVG. No reason to bump this thread just to add gossip to it.
Even if the worst imaginable was true, it doesn't give license to start bumping old threads and drag down legitimate content.

At least he bumped one of the (if not the) best posts of 2005.

Beyond the somewhat classless nature of starting [censored] here, what does Giga's personal finances have to do with whether his post is good advice or not?

So how can you figure out what they have? Well, get to know him, watch him play. Try and figure out what he is thinking, he has to be thinking something. Put yourself in his spot, what kind of hand would you have if you were betting like that?

Now do this for every hand for every player that is in the hand, for every player at the table, for every table that you are playing at. Try and eight table while doing this exercise. Put effort into every single hand that is played out at your table, not just the ones you are involved in, every single hand. Every time there is a showdown, and the losing hand is mucked, open up the hand history file, and see what he had. Go through the hand again and see if you can figure out why he willingly showed down a losing hand(something that should rarely be done.)

I call this an exercise, but this should be done on every single hand that is played out at any of your tables for the rest of your poker career.
There is a strong possibility that I am the most active player in the world, and I can honestly say that this is something that I do on nearly every hand. Imagine, 6000 hands a day on average, just watching and learning, with no predisposed judgements of the other players.

I have just arrived at this point in the "An Anthology of 2+2 Wisdom on MTTs". I don't know anything about Gigabet but to do what he is talking about, you would have to be an android (and a very advanced one like "Data")

Even if I could play 6000 hands in a day (which I can't), it seems to me it would take a week to analyze them.

how do you actively pay attention to the cards of people at 8 tables and constantly put them on cards when all the screens keep blinking?
