Not that I'm any good at MTT poker or anything, but how the heck do you end up all in preflop with Tens there when you've got a reasonable chipstack. [/ QUOTE ] Go watch the last US Poker Championship and you will see two guys 5 and 6 bet each other with complete trash. I think both went on to the FT, not sure. If you have a read your opponent is weak, then why not get it all-in?

While Gus is often berated for sucking out, I'd say he still easily is one of the best tournament players post-boom. This may be result-oriented thinking ofc but 4 wins in world-class mtts + an assortment of high-buyin SNG wins got to count for something.

Meanwhile jaybizzle's been busy:
The Ups and Downs of John Bird John Bird just lost a big hand that saw a good portion of his chips go to Scott Freeman. We caught up the hand on the river. With about 700,000 in the pot and the board reading {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}, Scott Freeman checked. John Bird bet 600,000 and Freeman called. Freeman showed {A-Spades}{9-Spades} which beat the {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} of Bird. This pot catapulted Freeman to 1,600,000 in chips and left Bird with a modest 100,000. Bird doubled through Issac Haxton on the next hand, when his {A-Clubs}{2-Hearts} bested Haxton's {K-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Bird is still well below average however with just under 200,000 in chips. Followed by: John Bird Doubles Through Josh Evans Josh Evans, playing from middle position, opened the pot for a standard raise. Action folded around to John Bird in the small blind who moved all in. Evans called and the players showed... Evans: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} Bird: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts} The board ran out {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and John Bird doubled up to 500,000. Don't feel bad for Evans just yet, he is still a force with just under 2,000,000.

Bad News
Brandon Adams Takes Big Hit Board: {6h}{Kh}{Ac}{4h} Preflop, Stig Tap Rasmussen bets 50,000 in middle position and Brandon Adams calls in the big blind. On the flop, Adams checks and Rasmussen bets 104,000. Adams calls. On the turn, Adams leads out for 180,000 and Rasmussen raises to 455,000 all in. Adams folds. Rasmussen shows the {Ah} and is up to 1,000,000. Adams is down to 495,000.

[/ QUOTE ] After 5 years of lights out results, attributing Gus' success to running good or being a luckbox, doesn't suffice. He's just a great player with a lot of gamble in him. And maybe most importantly, a lot players can talk about playing to win (and not to just cash) all they want, but Gus is one of the very few that actually lives that strategy.
