Oh man, that stuff is so over my head. The money, I mean. They're playing with my whole roll in that hand. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I'm surprised no one mentioned that Gus could just be a bad limit player, or possibly doesn't care that much about the stakes at $100/200.

Hmm, I thought I had mentioned both ("money to burn" and "so used to NL") but maybe I am just trying to add to my post count by mentioning it. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Could be worse, they could have your buns in their hands instead of your roll. *ducks the incoming tomatoes*

I've read in High Stakes that Gus started out as a 33/17/4 and over a few months became a very tough 18/12/2.5 or something like that.

Noob question here, are you talking about VP$IP, PFR (and an even bigger guess on the last one to say BB/HH ?)

I think it's typically VP$IP/PFR/AF, but not positive

That's it.

He probably earns back at least some of the loss he takes on sub-marginal hands by getting paid off when he actually hits. I doubt that's enough to cover the crap he tries to pull, but who knows.
