I doubt as well he can beat an average 1/2 game online in the long term....He do play really really bad...chasing stupid draws...often not getting value on his good hands there where its not that hard for him to get value because of his extreem fishy image.How can Guy be better then the average 1/2 player who try to learn and improve constantly?I doubt Guy ever read a pokerbook(not that books are the bible but they sure dont harm) or analized a handhistory of a session he played so he improve slowly or not...By an average 1/2 player i mean a winning player ofcourse.He will beat that same player in 200/400 and above tough but thats just because the 1/2 player is taken far out of his comfortzone and Guy is comfortable on any stakes so his advantage there is moneywise but never skillswise.O well just my idea of it maybe iam wrong and Guy is a great player.

You guys are dumb if your trying to compare him with 1/2 players or any other poker players for that matter. All I hear from people is how he is always losing and how much he is down. Who the fuck cares? Seriously. I mean do you even realize what a few million is to this guy? He is a billionaire for christ sake. Anyone who says a couple million is alot to him is a moron. He could lose 50million and not care. Why do you think he plays the biggest games? Its not because he is trying to make a ton of money. He obv knows hes the weakest player at the table but he doesn't care. He like the thrill and action of playing high stakes. Its fun for him. Do you really think that if the money mattered to him that he would continue to play the biggest games after he allready lost over $1m? Everyone he plays with and everyone in poker for that matter, will never be worth as much as him so you really can't make comparisons.

Guy is better at cash games than over 90% of the people that post on this site. It just so happens he loves the challenge of playing the best in the world. No need to publicly bash him especially when u have no definitive proof that this elmariachimacho account is his.
comparing him to avg pd poster is lol, i guess that makes him a midget among dwarves i doubt he could beat higher than 1/2 online
I bet he could
after watching that rail heaven game a bunch i'm pretty sure he couldn't beat 1/2... sure he's way overmatched at rh but he also has some horrid fundamentals. still limps weak and overbets strong, no idea what he's doing after the flop, also if like 2 people get their whole stacks in and guy has something halfway decent he'll often stick it in just to gamble. but as was said he's probably not even trying to win.
i sometimes wonder though if he has any idea like what his open limping does to the table. how they are basically taking turns 4xing his limps and flat calls at will. he's a pretty smart guy right, you'd think he would have to realize that he's the only one in these games doing that stuff .

If Guy is a billionaire, can you explain to me in a mathematical sense how 1M is not pocket change to him?
are people whose net worth is over one million dollars frequently willing to lose thousands on nothing? is that pocket change to a millionaire? same for this guy. if he is worth over a billion, it's not like he just sits on a huge stack of bills. anybody worth $1B has most of that in hallucinated asset wealth that will never be fully realized. so anyone, from Bill Gates on down, feels the loss of $1M in liquid

Yes i'm sure an extremely smart and savy businessman would somehow decide after 40 years of nothing but good management and succes to start making his practical life hard by gambling money away he cant miss without changing his lifestyle
LMAO
You really have no clue, i don't often say that but ..

Obviously the guy can afford to lose $1m, that's not what I''m saying. But can he afford to lose it every day? Impossible. $1m is $1m and its not "pocket change" to anyone.

I strongly suspect that his billion dollar worth is not liquid (net), so to state that a million dollars is pocket change to him seems a little silly.

guy was on HSP for a while, he actually wasnt all that bad. he is a little aggro, and will see a cheap flop with ATC, but he has good reads and is a bully because he doesnt care about the money.
i saw him, literally, give benyamine $400k back one time. they got it all in on the turn with guy holding a set against benyamines flush draw (both players started the hand with $500k, going into the turn they both had 100K in the pot before benyamine pushed all in and guy snapped called)...benyamine was SICKKKK, and guy was like "you know what dave, i know 400k is a lot more to you than me so lets just play for whatever was in the pot before the turn." benyamine instantly agreed, and guys hand held.
guy is a very cool person and 3-5 million means NOTHHHIIINNGGGGG to him. he is worth 1.5 billion!!!!!!!!!!!! and yes, you are right, the 1.5 billion is not all liquid assets...but im sure he could get $200-300 million in the drop of a dime if need be. $20M is like less than 1.5% of his net worth lol. losing $5m to him is equal to a guy worth $10k losing 40 bucks. so each buy in on railhaven he loses is like a guy with $10k losing like 75 cents. a bad day at railhaven to him is like losing a couple dollars to the normal, full time employed, man. lol @ people thinking guy gives two shits about the $30-40M he is going to lose during his lifetime of poker.

I could give two shits what GUY wants to do with his money, or if he is very good at poker. With that said, I know there are a lot of P5ers that are better cashgamers than I am, and I highly certainly suspect I am better at cashgames than he is. His fundamentals are just terrible.
