Most ultra high stakes players spread the damage...common knowledge. There are posts here with 3 way discussions. Only about 25% of the ultra high stakes players use only there dime and they tend to be gazzilionaires like Guy from Cirque.

no way gus himself is playing that account all the time. i mean, he´s just terrible most of the time and all of a sudden, he wins 1 mill ++ in no time. this is actually the 2nd time this year, he won almost 2 mill on tilt in less than one week before the wsop.

If you see the hands, you know it's Gus. He puts in big money in very very marginal situations

Borderline stakes? Asperger stakes? I'm sure someone can come up with a good name.

LOL if you don't think risking the avg pretax US salary isn't highstakes poker. 2+2 must really screw people up. This is a lot of money, even for poker.

Yeah the session swings are the size of a lifetime salary in an average second world country.

Maybe that's a good name, lifetime salary stakes.
