gus hansen.....sick gambler
« on: April 19, 2009, 05:23:53 AM »
gus was down 1.2 million today (PLO)........and i though i had a bad weekend.....cant understand why players like that are willing to lose so much in the space of 24 hrs. how come they dont just give  some of it to charity or somthing.

i really respect the guy, but you have to admit, his roll must be way to big for his boots.....

people trade on stock markets on a daily basis and will lose/gain a lot more than that.

There is a thing on You Tube where he speaks about losing $1m and then clawing it back etc ... etc ...

Moral of the story - don"t play PLO!

exactly!!  $1.2M swing at 1k/2k is 600 BBs..... at .25/.50 the same swing value would be $300.  Playing PLO at this level, Iregularly had daily swings of $300

exactly right waz.....and ironically proved by Gus himself.....i enjoy following the big players wins and losses, and gus finished up almost 2 million bucks yesterday.......

so i guess the 1.2 mil from last week, was just a small down swing to him....lol
