POKER INFO - PROILE - Gus Hansen

I have been watching poker for about 18 months and playing in tournaments and on line for the last 12 months. Gus was immediately my favourite player and I love to watch him in big tournaments. If you are reading this Gus and would like to take me out for a meal and give me a few tips I am all yours.

I've been watching WPT for awhile now but I haven't seen Gus in quite a long time. Does anyone know where he's been?!?!

Mr Hansen, I salute you. You are awesome, I'm proud to be Danish when I watch you on telly! Go get 'em tiger!!

Favorite poker player to watch ever! w/o this man poker just wouldnt b the same, he is a true gambler!KEEP IT UP GUS

Gus...you are incredible!!!!all says it cause' there are nothing els to say. and by the way...good played vs. Daniel Rentzner...eller hvad fanden han heddder

Gus spiller da bare helt kanon! Jer der siger han vinder fordi han er heldig..? ja, i kan da bare skide i havet!! Dejligt at se at en dansker kan komme så langt i internationalt poker,, Respekt..

HEY I THINK GUS HANSEN IS A LUCKY BASTARD AND I THINK HE GETs TOO MUCH RESPECT. I HATE LUCKY ASS POKER PlAYERs

WTF - wether he had T8off vs . 77 or AK off vs 77 is the same ods - so actually it´s a pretty darn good call presuming no one else went in...

Gus was amazing at the shooting star-it'll show on june 8th. i live in san jose so we went to watch and he made it worth the 6 hours i spent standing plus he georgus

does he have a personal website/official website?

Gus is just amazing! plays the perfect game no matter the cards he has...no one knows the moves he is going to make, he is imposible to read...

Hansen is generally a good reader, you have to be to make calls with the worst of it, more often than not, he calls with coinflips or 3/2 dog hands (like QT vs AK) likes to gamble to knock opponents out. However, Chris Ferguson absolutely schooled him in the Head's Up Tournament. Pushing all in with A3 on a KKx board, Ferguson played him perfectly flipping over the QQ. Gus is a great player, but I would like to see him at a final table with Ferguson, Ivey, Harrington, Sklansky, and Negreanu. Play this table 10 times. Hansen will end up 6th or 5th more often than not. Knows how to beat the onliners and the other aggressive players. But more patient players that know not to push all in preflop on coinflips and 3:2 advantages, will just wait him out and burn him over and over.

Gus Hansen plays the Super System. That's all, straight by the book, no magic to it. He just does it exceptionally well and has the luck one needs to suck out on someone when it counts.

For everyone who says hes all luck..... its obviusly more than luck if hes won as much has

i play heads up against gus - i raise 10 tousand, gus goes over top with 30 tousand, i all in with 10-7 against his 3-6. I catch a 7 on flop but gus hits trips when the flop cums 7-6-6. I lose entire money on one hand. Top job Gus now watch out - next time i RAISE U and u dont call!

Rumor has it that Gus is the biggest fish in theBellagio big cash game. Apparently he owes Doyle4 million and had to skip Vegas. Not exactly rocketscience, everyone that plays on pokerstars knowsthat Hansen dumps money like there is no tomorrow !!

He does dump money like there is no tomorrow.A friend of mine met him in a bank in Paris. My friend needed $3000 for an appartment. He couldn't get that much in one day on his creditcard. Gus gave it to him, and said: see u next week. Bring $3000 and we're even. Either He's dumb, or very good at judging people. My friend showed up next week, and Gus got his money. He won that pot, and respect from me and my friends!

Best player ever.. He playes so good on bad hands like 2-4 off suited...

Gus,I LOVE YOU !!!!!!You're my idol!!! LOVE YOU !!!You have a fan in Brazil....You're the best!LOVE YOU!!!!

Gus is a big inspiration to all hold'em players. He both play the cards AND the players very well. Nice to see a guy from Denmark doing so well in WPT

Gus Hansen is my pick to win this years WSOP Main Event!!!!!!! Good Luck Gus

This guy doesn't stand a chance against people like Phil Hellmuth and Phil Ivey. I'll never forget when he said I have 10, 8, offsuit I have to call for sure, and the lucky bastard caught 2 pair and took the pot. ALL I CAN SAY IS THIS GUY IS A JOKE AND IS WAY OVER-RATED.

What makes Gus Brilliant is how difficult it is to play him. You can tell on the tables no one wants to be in a hand with Gus as they dont know whether hes got absolute rags or pocket rockets. In my opinion he is the most difficult player to read, which ultimately makes him extremely difficult to play.

One thing that puzzles me about Gus - he never seems to look at the man, like no stare-downs, no searching for tells etc. He just looks at the community cards and thinks "should i bluff with my 4-2 off suit?" or "how do i trap this guy with my monster hand?" Its strange. I'm also wondering how this guy builds up a huge stack in tournaments early. He cant be messing with J-4, 6-5 etc early on or he'll go bust pretty soon.

what most are missing is that by the time u see gus on tv and decide you are an expert on his game, he has already made it through the field of hellmuth's and phil iveys. he also plays in the highest stakes games all the time. no one can play in these games for more than a week or so unless the can hold their own against ivey, brunson, chao and daniel

I just kicked Gus's butt in headsup play online. I just wish it had been in person and for real not just a computer program. But.... it was still fun to beat him. oh yea, he went all in after the flop with 3 queens, I made my flush (queen high)at the flop. and then just waved good bye to him :-)

i'm definately no math expert, but i would say poker is 30% luck and 70% skill IMO. all poker players catch lucky breaks.. but some are able to set them selves up to get better breaks, i think Gus can do that. besides that, I think he plays great - he plays the way the books tell you not too, so while many players play "by the book", he will take them out without a prob. because they ignore the fact that any two cards can win, its just the matter of playin the player.

I agree Gus does not play by the book and I think that's good, because when you really get right down to it any two cards you hold before the flop can create a hand....I was watching the Bay 101 last night and saw him take third playing trash hand...finally someone else caught a card that set him back. It's nice to see him fall once and awhile because it gets old watching him catch lucky flops and turn cards....not to dis-credited his ability to play, but he is very LUCKY at times period!!! Especially when the other guy has him bet going into the flop. Still a great player and always will be....

I think gus is great.he got me watching texas holdem.he,s the best in the world and those gus wannabes suck

Gus is the best there is. He knows when and how to play a hand perfectly. He is BAD ASS!!!!
