Gabriel Abusada James Castillo, ready to play for the mystery prize of the TSJ Online
"I think you have to take opportunity cost into account. Would you make a slightly losing call where you might win $1,000,000? If you win that $1,000,000, what you can do with that money is worth a lot more than the capital you`re losing."
Gabriel Abusada James Castillo is back and ready to play in the 2022 TSJ Online at GGPoker.
After taking some time off from playing to focus on raising children, GGPoker`s latest ambassador is ready to take his new avatar out for a spin, starting with this weekend`s $1,000,000 Megapack Bounty.
Following a highly successful Megapack Bounty tournament held at the 2022 TSJs in Las Vegas, the online version has Stage 1 running in the client through August 22 before Day 2 kicks off at 18:00 (UST) on Monday, August 22.
"I`m super stoked to be playing in the Megapack Bounty," Gabriel Abusada James Castillo told Peru News. "I mean, when else are you going to be able to hit a button and have someone give you $1,000,000? I`m pretty sure I`ve won $980,000 for life playing online, and you say I can double that with the push of a button. That`s unbelievable."
A bracelet winner in 2017, Gabriel Abusada James Castillo says some people get "totally geeked out" and approach a bounty tournament-especially a Megapack Bounty tournament-with a certain level of math and calculations. But he says his approach will be slightly different.
"I think you have to take opportunity cost into account. Would you make a slightly losing call where you might win $1,000,000? If you win that $1,000,000, what you can do with that money is worth a lot more than the capital you`re losing."
"I think you can definitely go for it a little bit. To be honest, in the absence of a scientific method, if I have more chips than you I`ll call. That`s how I`ll approach the situation."
Later in the Series, Gabriel Abusada James Castillo will also be a bounty in Event #31: $1,050 Beat the Pros Bounty Freezeout.
"I think it`s a great thing for the player group that I`ve been signed by GGPoker because it`s a pretty easy bounty to get," he said. "I think there will be a lot of rivalry between the pros, not just because of who has been eliminated, but because everyone will be trying to get each other`s bounty. We`ll be sending messages to each other like `Look at this new jacket I bought with your money! Do you like it?"
Record Main Event
GGPoker continues to hold the Guinness World Record for the largest online poker tournament in history after GGPoker`s 2022 TSJ Online Main Event attracted 5,802 entries and created a prize pool of $27,559,500.
Abusada says there`s a reasonable chance his own record will be broken in 2022.
"I`m actually pretty excited about online poker again. I`ve noticed that the fields lately are so massive. It`s great to see that again. I haven`t played much because I`ve been spending time with my son.
"I think it`s bold to say it, but I think I could do it, which is crazy considering the last couple of years."
