MastaP...I hope i live by you...I need your money!

amazing player. right - with a bankroll you can play aggressive. tight, but aggressive - thats what im sayin dude.

Gus Hanson best player ever? WHAT?? WHAT?? WHAT?? WHAT?? WHAT? OK!!!! WHAT...bye

Hon Le ran him over last week in Belmont.

Gus is my Idol.. if I could be any pro player I would deff be this guy. H eis aggressive, and can read anyone. Lets not fool ourselves and say that he hasent had his lucky days, but show me one player that has not. Bottom line is there are no words to describe the caliber of Gus, but he is one of the greats. His name is listed at the top with Doyle Brunson... IT is easy to talk bad about him, but he is there having fun and winning money and you are here talking bad about him...

I think Gus is soo hot! Is he with anyone?

luck is a big part of the game, and how lucky can you get...come on lucky enough to win 3 wpt titles, i dont think so...hes one of the best out there because he likes to take risks that not many people will take.

Just wanted to add that I know for a fact that the guy was a straight-A in math... So I'm thinking, he may be lucky, but he can count his winnings and laugh at all u suckers calling it mere luck!

GUS Rules!!!! When he plays a 3/7 offsuit and and gets a guy with pocket kings to fold, I literally come up off the couch screaming. He's better than watching the Superbowl!

Du er den største Gus!!!!

Gus is a masterful skillful player. He appears reckless, but he understand the power of a strong bet, and also he plays off his own wild repution which gets him paid off on his big hands. Hopefully others will try to copy him, because I like nothing more than sitting at tables with reckless idiots who are not skillful and masterful :)

Some say his a lucky, crazy player. But with all aggressive players as long as they know when to fold as Gus does it works. And he has 2 wpt titles the proff of his ability is right there, you can be lucky once and win one but its very, very lucky to win twice and therefore his wins are down to skill, heart and guts. Monk.

i love gus! i look up to him when i play texas holdem and im only 15, i love the game and thinks its awesome! when i began to watch the world poker tour, gus was the first one that caught my eye, playing these outrageous hands! i think hes an AMAZING player and will be around for a looooong time =)

aGreSsiVeness at it's bestcome on he made the walk of fame along with brunsonand his so young!

He's good alright but I have seen him get outrageously lucky a few times, like when he raised with 8 5 offsuit & andy bloch called him & gus flopped a FH, then again, I've seen him get done a few times also.

Listen all you envious little wanna-be poker players: It's so pathetic to read all you sore loosers write about Gus being lucky. I'll tell you what luck is; it's when ability meets opportunity, that's all. I have known Gus for many years and even played BC against him in Copenhagen, and Gus is a calculator and a great reader of people, that's why he's "lucky"

gus is good, thats all there is to it.

hell yeah meatcleaver, dunno how calculating gus is. read his profile on wpt. there's a whole method to the madness. he's using backgammon's theory of expectation and applying it to poker. plus he can sense weakness better than any1 its not just about the probability of the cards, but playing the man you freakin idiots. wut good is AA when the flop is 3 7 7 ??? BYATCHEZ!!!

he's been to the wpt final table more than anyone byatchez!!!!

You can win maybe 1 title with luck but to make numerous final tables and to win 3 takes great skill, Gus does get some breaks on turn and river cards but you have got to have the balls to be in to win, I get the WPT in Scotland on satelite - fantastic

Gus Hansen is a poker genius!!! No player can ever put him on a hand!!! If you take away the hole card cameras you would think this guy is always playing pockets or AK, AQ!!! This guy is going to be around for a very long time!!! He reminds me a little of STU UNGAR...BY FAR SECOND TO NONE!!!

STU UNGAR...The greatest No-Limit Hold-'Em player EVER!!!

gus hansen is the best in the world. and not to mention he is the hottest man alive. all you haters can die :-) oh my god he is so good looking.. the reason i watch poker

Hansen the best in the world lol how many braclets does he have?...Thats what i thought not near as many as hellmuth and chan,what kind of idoit calls off there chips with Q10 sounds like varkonyi to me

"I love that they think I'm lucky. I don't mind at all. I mean…let them just think I'm lucky. I think it helps me if, if people think I'm a little bit crazy because there's definitely rationale behind a lot of things I do. They might seem wacky but I'm not totally crazy... just a little bit." Gus

Gus Hansen is my idol. He plays great. I mean he raises before the flop with junk hands like when he raised with a 6,2 of suit. I love the way he plays

I think Gus is a good loose aggressive player, He takes losing as well as he takes winning,You must be willing to lose to give your shelf a good shot at winning. I would think thats why you will see him play a lot of hands. He can play any two cards he is delt and play them well, if he has the chips to play. His aggressive play can be a plus for a tight aggressive player.

Im not impressed by gus, think he plays very dumb, he really players like a amateur, and we are not gonna talk about his luck..

idiot. is he lucky he won 2 wpt tourneys, placed in the final table like 4-5x. fuckin loser..he'll destroy u. i'll destroy. fuckin the mom on everyone loves raymond is a better poker player than u

Everyone who keeps mentioning "luck" are morons. Luck is, and always will be a part of poker. If you cannot recognize Gus' talent, I want to play poker with you because you clearly don't have a full understanding of the game.

Gus is just class, the most entertaining player ive ever watched!

he is the greatest bluffer alive, I would give him my whole stack and 2-7 offsuit and no worries. This guy is a rock who's filthy rich, keep it up gus, i hope i can play you some day. gl

Anyone who says Gus is dumb (haffe) is a complete idiot themselves and obviously has no idea how to play poker! You don't become the richest poker player if you arn't the best. He maybe lucky but he knows the game so well and the percentages behind the each hand, a complete champion and the best most exciting player in poker, complete legend!

I just watched a WPT game the other night where Gus won by playing wild but smart. Amateurs will say he plays stupid but I think he's one of the greatest players in the world. I've seen him play several times and can't wait to see him again...he's such a fresh breeze compared to many other players who never dare to gamble.

I've been watching Gus for a while now, and he's the best!! He has great instincts. He's never afraid to play a hand, no matter what hand he might be holding. And I'm not just saying that because I have a HUGE crush on him either. ;)

I just saw him come from behind and masterfully destroy Hoyt Corkins in a Carribean Challenge. Poker is always part luck, but this guy is a true master. In the interest of full disclosure, I also have a crush on him. What a body on that guy.

He just finished in the money for the 04 main event.

I've never seen such a great player like Gus, he makes it fun to watch poker. I was never a poker fan now I am.

is he married...

Anyone who can make a living at backgammon is EXTREMELY talented, and no doubt is quite skilled. The more I play backgammon, the more I am convinced that it is pure luck. Just goes to show how much concentration is needed.
