    watching Gus, Ivey and Benyamine playing 2k/4k limit omaha hilo. Gus took 80k or so from guaranteed376 b4 the big boys turned up but when he got close to 100k would stand up and sit in again with 50k. Still doing it now on the odd occasion when Ivey isn't owning him. seems a bit lame for a high stakes pro. Don't see Ivey doing it, he seems pretty happy with his 400k stack!

    It's limit. There is no time limit for leaving the table and returning for a lesser amount

    never seen him make any money in the big games period.

    all he does is donate millions to these ballers. imo 5 10 is the highest stakes he can beat

    Well, I guess the fact that you haven't seen him make any money is somehow important. FWIW, Gus is killing the big FT O8 games this year.

    not my job to search and post all of his results for you. And they're not "high stake scores." It's his total winnings or losses for O8 for the year. No shit that he's an overall big loser at HORSE and small loser at PLO this year. But somehow I interpreted the OP or thread to be talking about limit O8. And everybody knows that Gus isn't playing holdem online.
