Yeah, no way he can lose 500 bets in a game that isn't going 24/7. Especially a split game.

He dropped 145.000 yesterday in under an hour and I also saw him lose 75.000 2 days ago.

An example of a hand he played: Omaha hi: he has K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and the flop is QT2, 2 spades. He is up against QQ and chases the 7high spade flush for $45.000 wich doesn't hit.
I am no expert at omaha high, bit the play seems questionnable to me....

Hes such a good reader that he knew the guy didn't have higher spades and that his spade draw was good.

He's on now if you want to watch.

This, I believe, is BS. You cannot be a winning player playing bad cards with bad draws. Period. He's not psychic.

I think Gus Hansen became known as a "loose pro with exceptional reading abilities" partly because he ran very well. It's easy to be told how great you are when the cards fall.

Are you suggesting that Gus Hansen had been on a heater for his entire life and now it's over?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm not saying he's not a good player, but I don't think anyone can continually win playing loose. The odds catch up to you eventually. I do believe he's been on the luckier side of luck and that is why he hasn't hit a brickwall yet. He continues to play loose because he's gotten away with it. Luck is catching up to him. I would imagine he'll start tightening up.

I think it is BS: "blatant sarcasm".

I won't argue about the reading but let's suppose he had a nut flush draw. Is the chasing for all your stack a good play?
I think that if any of us posted that going broke chasing a nut flush draw HU would be called a fish (to put it mildly).

Phil Ivey made a hit and run appearence while Gus was playing. He sat down with 10K, was down to 2k after 3 minutes and up to 43K 15 minutes later. He then left.

The tactic seemed to be to raise every hand and pray. It worked yesterday. Maybe he needed some petty cash to buy himself a new yacht, porsche or summerhouse. Who knows...
