Gus playing 500/1k cap PLO, 1 table vs Skjervoy and 1 table vs DrugsOrMe.

Not going well for Gus so far.

i dont get why gus doesnt like money

he could grind the limit games and play in ring game PLO(in good games) and make a steady profit, yet he chooses to play HU vs the best. I guess he wants to learn, but he could pay Skervoy 1 million dollars for like 2 months of coaching instead of 3 million/yr forever to the PLO pros...

judging from his game on ft, i have to conclude that he has a lot more $$ then i initially thought. This guys litterally plays the highest possible stakes as if it was .01/.02. He doesnt give a **** about money.

Was Gus one of the initial owners of FTP? If so, then I can understand how he can lose such insane amounts

But if you look at the hands above he's getting the money in great spots just getting unlucky. At that point it's not about being a huge dog in the games, it's a variance issue.

No, Gus used have his own site called "pokerchamps" which he sold to betfair for a reasonable amount.
This was in like 2006.

Of course that software was f awful so it was a good sale by Gus.

Betfair dug their heels in and only recently got rid of it.

Gus def. could use some training in PLO, maybe he and Benyamine should get together, so David can learn Omaha Hi/Lo, and Gus can learn PLO from David. Btw I totally dont understand why Benyamine does not play Omaha on Full Tilt anymore... The fkker has won over 11 million in it for crying out loud...

Degenayamine was playing Galfond and said he lost 6.5 million straight and was done with FTP nosebleeds

He must be a monster live player to sustain that
