Why do people think Gabe Thaler is one of best?

[rock1]

I'll start by saying he is obviously a very good player. And his greatest attribute seems to be game selection. But why in the world do people keep saying he is one of the top 5 NL cash players in the world?

[x] Robert Williamson plays bad

wasn't that tough of a fold either but Gabe is still very good.

Gabe is super solid. Before he was the king of vegas No Limit he ran the NL games on UB with Prahlad.

There is a certain amount of butt kissing when it comes to Gabe because he runs the big game at the Venetian and he does a good job bringing in fish. If you want to play at the Venetian playing by Gabe's rules is important. I think it is just an income thing mostly.

There is no question though, Gabe is solid. The currect NL superstar though is apparently Kenny Tran.

I don't think this is an easy fold at all, but the most impressive thing to me was how quickly he folded to the river bet, as well as him showing the AK.

Gabe's play in that hand seems super standard. What am I missing?

beanie what was gabe's name on UB? also gabe is solid have played with him live before, I dont think he's top 5 though because hes just more nittier than I prefer, he's most likely top 10 at full ring live though...I could name 20 online players off the top of my head better than him at 6 max most likely though

P.S. in one of my encounters with Gabe, he's a v nice guy, dont know him well though
