yes he was getting pot odds on some calls...but on others he was clearly behind and getting the worst of it and got flat out lucky...he was just riding his rush however and really has nothing to lose by playing loosely on a good run of cards while having fun...i don't neccesarily agree with his play of any of the hands he played, but you can't argue with results.

He plays this way for a reason... when your holding lets say JJ... and Gus raises you and you decide to go allin... Gus could have AT... or he could have AA.
The point is he plays all his hands the same... and this is why he gets action on all his big pocket pairs and big hands he hits. Also if he has 64o and someone who has AK calls and the flop comes 64K... your going broke... but if the flop comes TK2... then you will win a very small amount. He loses very small pots and wins very big pots. |

My only question is....
When Gus and Phill Hellmuth play at the same table does Gus get the same, "how do you call a raise with XX" lecture that he gives the amatuers?? I like the play of Gus and Daniel N. very much, not because they have adopted the standard hand selection/hand play techniques that other pros use, but because they have devolped new styles that are very hard to read and made them work for them. This coupled with Gus' excellent head for math and Daniel's exceptional skill at reading people's hands make them great players and get them results equal to (or better than) other pros. It also makes for some great "TV poker"  but, IMO, that is merely a side effect.

I usually like his playing, but I was disgusted when he called an all in for a large portion of his own stack with 10-8 suited during a WPT episode. He happened to pair and won against the 77 he called. But still, he could have been up a higher pocket pair than 10, he could have been up against two over cards, and even the 77 he was up against was a coin flip. Oh well, I guess its workin for him.
