In Response To: High stakes gammon (Christian Munk-Christensen)

I agree with Stick and Phil. Also adding that the higher the stakes the harder it becomes to play your normal game. More fear will become introduced into the game, and you will not play as well. Obviously Gus has a high comfort level, and probably uses that to his advantage.

He will not be making my giants list, hes not active enough (really, how often does he play?), and playing high stakes heads up isnt that much of an indicator of success. Just because your name is known in BG and Poker terms doesnt entitle you to a perception advantage.

Having said that, I am sure that Gus' poker skills are as awesome as those in the know say they are.
