beanie,

I think Gabe is great and have played with him a ton on UB and some live. However "he ran the NL games on UB with Prahlad" is just not true. He was a solid and winning player for sure, but he definitely was nowhere near as tough or dominant as Prahlad online during that period. Gabe imo is far better live than he is online.

Did he use the name Gabe Thaler at UB? IF not, what name did he use?

Dali,

He was goinbroke. I felt he was one of the most solid players there, but not necessarily one of the toughest.

he bet too much to get a call from a dangerous board.

yeah man KQ833 rainbow boards are just minefields when you have TPTK and someone bets less than pot into you on the river after checking the turn.

Its pretty hard to comment about the hand without knowing the history between the two.

VS some ppl he might fold to the flop raise and to others he might be stacking off. This hand really proves nothing apart from that hes compotent.

I have no opinion on his play because I have never played with him. But one hand doesnt make him a genius or a donkey, but im probably speaking too much sense for NVG.

only one hand that he has beat can call that river bet, and that is AK, and he bet too much to get a call from a dangerous board.

Gabe Thaler's ears are designed to hear audio tells better.

Hmm, I don't specifically remember playing with him, although that was long ago and I am old and losing my memory.
