POKER INFO - PROILE - Gus Hansen

Seems fairly simple how to beat Gus in poker. Just play very tight-passive, limp in with premium hands and check the flop when u have made top pair, 2 pair, set. Then let this idiot bet big and go over the top ALL-IN. Then Gus will look down at his 10-6o garbage hand and muck it with fustration. I've also noticed that this guy bets unusually high with a great drawn hand (like if he has made trip 3's or whatever). So if the flop is rags or a low pair forms on the board, assume he has something and fold straight away.

tight-passive is the WORST STRATEGY IN THE WORLD. i mean u dont play many hands and u dont bet big or dont bet at all.

and thats not being tight passive its called check-raising. and lets see how that works for u against gus. he would woop ur ass.

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.

yo tight passive is for suckers who get busted out in the first ten minutes.

I laugh at all you degenerate ignorant 10year oldsthat think Hansen is a good player. Fact is, hisretarded plays have cought up with him and he isdead broke because of that. You can thank Doyleand the rest of the "Bellagio Big Cash Game" crewfor putting Hansen in a very very big hole.
