so we're seeing limp shove AA and check min raise flops with a set...what is this, 5 cent ten cent?

If I were one of the better NLHE HU players in the world and I lost that much to a pompous jackass of world-historic magnitude that probably can't even beat 1/2 but that very possibly takes winning those buy-ins as confirmation of his unquestioned supremacy over the best Internet poker players, I'd think it would tilt me at least a little. So basically what I'm saying is that I don't believe you.

GG though... I'm sure you'll gladly play him again if you get the chance.

Oh, well if the question is whether I was pissed to lose 46k to Phil, then yeah obviously I was. But that's not the same as having a bruised ego, which I took to mean having it affect your self-esteem or confidence.

I just said "a little," but yeah, that was a poor choice of words... it's not like your confidence that you were much better than him would be even temporarily affected, I wouldn't think.

why are they playing cap? they might aswell just start flipping

Any estimations on how much Gus has lost in the cap no limit games the last couple days? Highstakesdb doesn't seem to be monitoring them.

ziig plays limit holdem against hoss...wtf??? does he really think he has an edge there or just normal degen style

that's what they're doing.

there is this thing called gambling

What's up w only 500 1k cap running these days? Guess nosebleed players are in the mood to coinflip a lot more now...

gus hansen calling shoves with QT is a good enough reason imo

these games will run for a long time if Gus keeps playing them

Limp shoving there is good
