Pretty much. And trying to pick up pots where the flop hit nobody.

Though I'm sure if Gus had been watching and knew I was trying to play like
him, then he'd have laughed himself silly.

I deliberately chose a reasonably deep-stacked tournament. But when I got
down to 20 BB or so, I'm not sure I played much differently from usual (just
a bit looser). His book doesn't help much with this: if he'd been serious
about writing a helpful book rather than selfishly trying to win $1.2 million,
then he'd have made sure he got short-stacked at some point.
