he did not have odds to call with A10 vs barry's AQ, and he announced that he knew he was beat before calling... he was just calling to gamble, which doesnt take skill..... any idiot can call all their money off with borderline hands and screw a pro

well there is some method to gus' call, and he also makes great reads. his way of playing frustrates other players, and it's nearly impossible to put him on anyhands, cuz you know that guy plays anything. sure he makes some questionable calls sometimes, but he also builds his stack up so that he's in the position to take small hits compared the amount of chips that he has. also gus raises and raises and raises, and eventually that will put a a player on tilt, and he capitalizes off of that. call gus as lucky as you want, but you have to admit to win as many tournaments as gus has in the past few years, it cannot possibly be pure luck, he has a lot of skill, not just luck and gamble.

Sounds like my play from Tuesday night when I called with A10 suited against 2 all-in. One of which was AQ.

I won the side pot of $13,000 and the main pot was $7500 won by the BB who was short stacked.

LOL ATs against 2 all-in. i know i woulda been mad at that one...

sounds like a pot i was in the other day where i held AA, another guy had KK, another guy had QQ, and a fourth had 88. QQ pushed in, KK pushed in behind him, i (obviously) jumped for joy and pushed in behind them. 88 drew a straight and broke us all.
