I like to watch Gus playing, but there is one factor many dont remember when we talk about highest stakes players. They are few, they know each others way of play extremely well and have it very well studied. Pros who only play with pros tend to get habits, adictions, comiting the same mistakes or trying not to always the same way. Its like those who play with the same old friends at home for years. They know who does what in some situations! One day we heard good about Beniamine, now we heard good about Gus, and it will be cyclical!

God bless Gus Hansen. I love Gus, he might lose some money some times (as do all poker player) He's just very good at getting back on that horse and turning it all arround
I think its a big bluff game in PLO at higher stakes as u wouldn't go all in on a flush without the A for example, especially if you have a good read on your opponents...

They are to shallow in most of the games to bluff a lot. Any half way decent hand has to call.
