i think there is this perception with the way gus plays that he's not doing the math, but if you watch his plays he IS doing complicated math and getting it right - the difference is unlike most players he doesn't seem very concerned with his own hand - he's working out the odds of someone having something that'll beat him, the odds of his opp having a hand that he'd call a 20k raise with, a 200k raise with etc then value betting accordingly - most flops are gonna miss your opp in heads up, he may have junk cards but but its still great value when you can bet your opponents hand odds against them - and another thing, i heard someone say he overbet pot odds on a flush draw, those odds look a lot prettier when you have a plan to win the pot once you miss! i guess basically people say he's lucky because they see him win with poor cards, but aa and 27 look exactly the same when you don't have to turn them over! and gus is a master at winning without a showdown - he's a fantastic player, and i love his crazy neck rolling!
