I think Gus being down $16 million-plus pretty much answers the question: "What kind of money did some of these Full Tilt guys accrue in dispersements?" Particularly the pros who got in on it early.

LOL was that even really a question?

Please say you are joking... because Sexton says he is a genius don't make him so

And he was not by 'all accounts' a 'legit genius'

He was a massive fish at cash poker, a complete joke at spots bets, poor at golf. He was very good at Gin. And very crap in life. He was a mess. And no he was not a genius.

If he was - I would love more 'legit geniuses' like him in my games... he was basically the grinder mizrachi of his day... just like him he never had any money. And obviously Grinder has sponsorship so can live slightly better

Stu had no clue on BRM - now a 'legit genius' would. He was just a spazz-spew monkey. Which works in tourney's - especially back in the day with the small passive fields.... but boy does it hurt in the deep stacked, low blind, cash games. Hence him always being broke and never, ever being able to make any money from daily poker games.

qft. not to mention blowing ALL the way through his septum snorting cocaine. if the guy had any smarts surely he would have switched his methods to injecting or smoking (shoutout to another great thinker, shane "rockstar" schegler) before permanently disfiguring himself

Its nice that his opponents say nice things about him. Maybe he will continue

It's legit. Mike Sexton says "SU's like a servant"

Anyone have links of gus's latest interviews? Or even anywhere in writing where he discusses his losses? Wanna see whats going on in his head after being down like this. Gotta have some kinda strategy at least to get ahead if he keeps dumping money into it.

Standard variance

LOLOL this response is seriously the funniest thing I've read yet today. Thanks!

lol he got so offended when he said he was stuck

That was filmed some time ago too, still not lookin good. Gus has others people money in his pocket imo

"I am not Bill Gates. At some point I have to turn this around or slow down a little bit"

this was at the start of November '13. he's lost 5 million since then

where is ur sandwich now gus?

Gussy,
Once feared, now teared, The Lame Dane only feels the pain.
This story needs a funny video.

Hes playing on ft now lol. Must be growing money in Monaco

Saw Gus give advice once on a video about proper bankroll management. You think he is following his own advice?

The point of me playing poker is to make maybe a million or more. Once I'm financially independent, poker will put on the back burner.

If I'd made a few million from a business, I wouldn't be worried about playing nosebleed stakes poker. I would still play just not that high.

Brad Booth said he had got tired of being up a Ferrari , down a Ferrari.

Hey, but if you're Andy Beal or Bill Gates go ahead play 10million NL.

Gus crushes everyone

Gus has maybe 50 million left

I was just waiting for someone to post the official amount. Thanks for the info!

sources? or just rough guess?

50m? Eh, I have a hard time believe that. I think its funny when I see news saying gus won XXXX amount today. Im thinking noooo.. Gus became XXXXX less unstuck but still very stuck lol

The idea that all these famous pros are rolling in money is a well known myth and just fantasy. Truth is most are busto or close to it, apart from the few with their heads screwed on like Antonious etc. I don't buy into the claim Gus has made all these amazing investments and has money pouring in. Gamblers rarely invest they gamble it, especially a clear degenerate like Hansen.

Blom was supposed to still be loaded with the billions or watever he won from those mystical untrack euro sites and we recently find he's staked and in big debt. Same old story really.

I know from a reliable source that its not gus playing. He leases his acct out to some of the filthy rich who wish to stay annonymous. Then with his fish rep in tact, he crushes live games. Think about it. have u ever seen him play this bad on tv shows?
