KowboyKoop 0 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I think you have some good points, but all of the pros are experiencing the same thing, I mean, Doyle wrote a book about how he plays and he still seems to be doing okay. Negreanu had a good series in '04 despite being in the same situation, and his style is SOMEWHAT similar, ( I know it is different, but it isn't by the books like, say, D. Harrington) So, I don't think the hole cams is the reason, I think his style is one where he will run EXTREMELY well for a while, which he was, and one which will cause him to run very badly too, which he seems to be going through now. It will even out. Link to post Share on other sites

THIR13EN 0 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I think he likes the image the WPT has given him. I read or seen somewhere he said he likes that people thinks he capable of making the same raise with 72o or pocket aces. DN even said that its a scary image to have at a table, a guy that will call your raise with basically anything, also that he's capable of raising, or even re-raise you with anything.

Socko669 0 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Maybe, just maybe, Gus is focusing on cash games more than tourneys...just because someone hasnt been hammering the tourney circuit doesnt meant they arent a succesful poker player. Link to post Share on other sites

Gus doesn't play that many tournies and plays when he wants to. He can only come to the US for 90 day stretches since he is a resident of Monaco and not the US. Gus has never played a big tourny schedule. Your assumptions are pretty dumb Link to post Share on other sites
