The guy is simply amazing. I do agree that raising with a 2,5 off suit on a fairly regular basis is very risky play, but when everyone at the table knows your repuatation and is scared as hell of you then it is a great advantage. Sure if I sat down at a table in Vegas and played the way he did I would probably get called and eventually crushed. But I'm not Gus Hansen either. People are afraid of him because he could wipe you out at any moment if you dont play your hand right.
