Gus Hansen's Master Class (PSI on FSN

[JARID]

Chris,

Could not agree with your post more. I missed the Sunday telecast but picked it up last night. I was really waiting to see all of these "suck-outs" that this board is clamoring about.
Yes, one suckout; Q8 to Barry's QJ is a bummer for Barry. Nevermind that Gus likely had odds to call based on the range of hands he would put Barry on. If you didn't see the cards would you put Barry on exactly a better Q?? No, you wouldn't. Should Gus have folded for only 35k more. Gimme a break.
What needs to be examined is how Gus and Barry were in that situation to begin with. Lets not forget that Gus checkraised Barry five televised hands in a row, picking up pot after pot in the process. Gus had the entire table on edge.
I'm not sure if he will win the whole thing, but last night was very impressive.
