This is probably just a coincidence, but . . .

I was watching the PSI at the Palms (Gus vs Howard, Doyle, Ivey, Chan, etc.) and, of course, was amused by the wide assortment of facial ticks and head scratching that took place any time Gus was trying to put his opponents on an assortment of hands. Maybe he'd thinking about bluffing, maybe he'd have a great hand and just gotten raised and wondering whether to call, point is that his face would be doing jumping jacks.

Last hand with Chan, where he flopped the nuts . . . no contortions. No grimaces. No head-scratching. He wasn't Phil-Ivey blank, but all action had decreased by about a degree of magnitude.

Apparently, when all he's thinking about is how to get all of your money, his face doesn't have to work overtime . . .

Admittedly, small sample size problem here. And also, there's about a 0.00000001% chance that this is something I'll ever need to actually worry about [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. But for those few posters here like Fossilman who play in the Big Stakes games . . . well, maybe something to keep an eye on.

When his face doesn't do jumping jacks, watch out [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].
