    Gus seemed to have completely tilted and was playing like a madman late last night -- burned through over $1,000,000 in a relatively short period of time. Worst tilt of all time? Has to be right up there with the most anyone has ever lost online in a day.

    good job he is a lucksac in the donkaments or he would be broke from these online cash games. You have to wonder if the other high stakes regs think he is a bit below par when like 10 of them are always waiting at his tables to play him lol.

    Luckboxing mtt's isn't all of the story...selling him and his partners sold what is now betfair for 15 mill a few years ago too. But gambling is gambling and managing money is managing money and he is not very good at them...

    What is funny is that during a gushansentv.com video he was talking about "game starters" and that you have to be aware of this.

    GUS YOU ARE THE GAME STARTER!

    I think he most lost of it to Urindanger. I watched for about 30 minutes and he lost around $300k in that time, until Urindanger had around $850k across 2 HU PLO tables. Im guessing that most of that was brought by Gus.

    i must admit though that Gus seems very likable to me and I generally root for him when I watch him on TV I understand that some disagree with his play but Im not sure why he gets so much heat He doesnt act like an ass like PHil H or victory dance the way rainkhan did

    Mainly to Urindanger (Di Dang) - about $700k, but he also lost over $300k to David Benyamine under his MR B 2 U SON name.

    As a person, he seems like a really good guy, nicer than most live pros, but it just seems like the other high stakes guys online think they have an edge over him.

    THIS, although i disagree with grouping hevad and PH together. hevad khan seems like a cool dude, having reformed his behavior much since his ME run. PH, otoh, is the biggest ass of all time. he used to be one of my favorites until his classless display in the ME last year.

    anyway, why all the gus hate? i guess poker forums tend to be filled with those who like to revel in the misfortune of others... sigh...

    i hope gus can rebound from this loss.

    i didnt mean to imply that hevad was as bad as phil he was the first one that came to mind when thought of annoying celebrations although he has def calmed down

    humberto and that damn shark would be a better example now that i have had time to reflect
