No limit holdem isn't about playing the great hands. It's about playing the okay hands great. Gus does this in his own original, and quite successful way. He has a great amount of self control, knows when to fold, and knows when to go ALL IN. The guy is the best no limit poker player to embrace the sport, and only someone that can beat him should be able to say otherwise. (by the way, Gus knows that a small percentage of poker has to do with luck, and uses this to his advantage)
