Well, I have to admit that I used to think that Gus Hansen was extremely lucky winning with some of the hands he plays. My thought was that his hand selection would ultimately get him into trouble from a statisical standpoint. "But how can you argue with success?" I thought.... Well, it turns out that Gus Hansen recently lost $4,000,000 (his total cash roll) in a $4000/$8000 game mixed with $150K PL Omaha. There are a few regulars who play this game in Vegas (Brunson, Ivey, Reese, Negreanu, etc.) and luck ran out on Gus. In fact, he borrowed another $4,000,000 from Chip Reese and lost that!!! So basically, Gus is broke and in debt four million bucks.Now, we've all played with maniacs or loose cannons who seem to get lucky and we think to ourselves "in the long run you're definitely a loser" and if you thought that about Gus, it turns out you were right.
