I mean, I was even making myself like the biggest target in the world....talking about wanting Giga to sign my breasts....putting SkipperBob's drink umbrella in my ear....making my sleeping arrangements with TheUsher and GreekHouse public....bah!!!

Re: WHAT THE F*** explain this one..????????
I think it mostly just comes from experience. When you've been in those situations so many times before and you know how to wield a big stack with calculated precision to acquire a lot chips at low risk, it probably becomes painfully obvious to you how important it is to get to that big stack, and how little consequence it is if you have 1500 chips or 2000 chips, or whatever else is in the middle range.
People might say they know these things, but it seems like Giga puts it to use and actually capitalizes on this idea better than most.

[/ QUOTE ] It isn't just weilding a big stack (see strassa's recent thread about just how confident *he* is with a big stack)...Giga understands and utlizes many unorthodox concepts when he plays....some I'm sure are ridiculously creative. I didn't realize how much so until hearing him discuss several hands in person...to have the confidence to make some of the moves he does is crazy. I remember the first time I pushed something like 23o into the blinds in a STT...what he is capable of doing is like a bajillion times more ambitious and frightening. Yugoslav

He reraised all in. Doesn't that mean he'd have to move the scroll bar all the way to the right and then click raise? I can see a call or minraise being a misclick because it could be accomplished by simply clicking the wrong button, but an all in? Am I missing something?

Re: WHAT THE F*** explain this one..????????
Here's what I see in this hand, and probably a lot of hands Gigabet plays, that we would never think of getting involved in.
I remember a post he made (I think it was in his Step Higher 5 HH thread) that reminded me of this kind of play. I don't rmember exactly how he put it, but what I got from it was, Gigabet knows how many chips he needs to keep up with the field and stay in the game. Sometimes he uses any chips he has above this amount to play marginal, or what we see as unorthodox situations. He can aford to lose these chips and still be in the running to finish the tourney. But in the right situation, and maybe more than we realize, these situations are +EV with good reads. I don't think he expected Tolumax to call with kings. BUT, just in case he did, He's not losing too many chips to kill his chance at coming back. AND, I think the "Don't F with my BB" had a lot to do with it also.

Re: WHAT THE F*** explain this one..????????
I agree. Some of the stuff I've heard of him doing is pretty ridiculous sometimes, and I only read what people post of him around here. The best part is, to the untrained eye, his most sophisticated moves look like a braindead chimp is pounding on a computer keyboard.
But, in any event, my comment was directed at the situation given by raptor. I'm sure Giga has plenty more tricks in his bag than just wielding a bigstack.
