Doyle Brunson once said show me the luckiest player in the room and ill show you the best player at the table...For all you hatters, Gus revolutionizes the game with his aggressive style..This luck b/s needs to stop b/c in poker u require some luck to win but to have 3 WPT Titles and beat the best players in the world at the Poker SuperStars Invitational thats all Skill and calculating the odds.

"Posted by: Kneegrow Please on Feb 01, 2004 This clown gets lucky as hell and hes lucky im not there to chop his ass down"

yeah right what does three WPT championships say to you it's not all luck for him he is awesome

One can debate Gus gambling style over and over. The fact is that he is a great poker player and like all of us he masters the math of the game perfectly. The thing is that many people are mixing up internet poker with live poker inspite of the big differences. Real Poker is 30% math and 70% read while internet poker is the opposit. I think Gus masters all the styles, would he be in the WPT finals otherwise?

Gus is bling man, just doin'his thing. Hold stilen, så de ka' lære det.

Man, I hate hearing idiots rant about how players are just lucky. Remember they only show the best hands on WPT or any televised events. Gus has a great understanding of the game and also incorporates math into some of his decisions. You'll soon see when his book is completed.It's easy to play suspect hands against tight players. try it.7 out of 10 times you can bluff ure way out of a hand against a good player.

There is a saying in poker that you have to win races to win tournaments. Gus has won many races but Gus plays the player and not the cards 99% of the time. Another element that makes him an excellent poker player is that he makes some excellent Laydowns. He isnt dumb in his play and projects that in his table image. He is an amazing poker player to watch.

gus hansen is The best no limit player in the world right now. The only player that he could be compared to is stu ungar who is dead now.Although stu ungar was the best ever and no1 will ever be even close to as good as he was. but id say gus hansen is second best to him

im NOT saying im better than gus but i dont think hes all that great not even in the top 50 nl holdem players as far as im concerned

gus is an amazing player to watch, is he the best? in time, very likely. is he a skilled poker star? no doubt about it. gus is the sort of player who makes things happen, makes player have to make decisions and almost always reads them perfect when they make them. most people who post crap bout players like gus r just jealous cos the only time they seem to have the nuts, they're playing with themselves not with cards.

No limit holdem isn't about playing the great hands. It's about playing the okay hands great. Gus does this in his own original, and quite successful way. He has a great amount of self control, knows when to fold, and knows when to go ALL IN. The guy is the best no limit poker player to embrace the sport, and only someone that can beat him should be able to say otherwise. (by the way, Gus knows that a small percentage of poker has to do with luck, and uses this to his advantage)

Gus hansen you're legend

Gus is the best player on the WPT. He currently has 4 WPT titles which is the most of any player in the WPT. He was also inducted into the poker hall of fame. When he wins it is not luck. Gus was fomerly a backgammon pro player and has taken his skills from that game into poker. If I could choose one pro player to mentor me it would be only GUS.Keep up the great work Gus.

Gus is a Star in Denmark - pokers is played anywhere now because of Gus' idol status. At the present the police uncover a lot of illegal poker tournaments. Our Casinos are ofcourse furious at these so-called self-established tournaments Nobody have played any REAL poker in Denmark before Gus Hansen - thats a fact.

omg, this guy is a god, i'm an amatuer and hope to someday as good as him^^ I ABSOLUTELY LUV WPT AND SEEING HIM PLAY THE WAY HE DOES MAKES ME A FAN OF POKER!!

First time I ever saw him was yesterday, all I can say is WOW !! He won the million and deserved it! Anyone who thinks he is just lucky is an idiot.

Good luck, held og lykke.Elsker at se dine aggrassive træk, selv når du ikke har en god hånd. Simon

Gus Hansen is a good card player, though I think he might be a bit overated. I feel like in the long-run a player like Howard Lederer or Dan Harrington will have a more profitable career, as there will be less variance in their play, and they can avoid big traps Gus' aggressiveness can get himsef into. Also, sometimes playing recklessly happens to work out even though it was not the correct play (Varkonyi in 2002 against Hellmuth comes to mind).

is gus married?

you have to have 3 things to be a good poker player, you have to have skill, you have to be willing to take risks and you have to just get lucky sometimes. and Gus does all that. Hes one of the best poker players i ever seen

FYI....Gus is not married. Last interview I read on him he said he does not have any plans in the near future on getting married either. He is happy being single. He just has not meet me yet..hehehehe!

Gus is a luck box..I've watched him play and he needs to take lessons. Stu Ungar would destroy him if he were alive today...in facthe would estroy anyone on the tour!!!

Paul Philips has been nicknamed "MiniGus" once... hahaha... He followed Gus Hansen everywhere, and at the final, he got the same clothes and haircut just as if they were cousins... I'm sure Gus didn't like that feeling hahahaha! Gus is only 29, plenty of time to get better than any old veterans...

Gus hansen is so lucky.One day he was just walking down the streets of monte carlo and a bag of gold fell out of the sky. Then a cute danish chick said "hey thats my money! But its ok you can keep the 5 million in that bag marked with a dollar sign because I think backgammon players are hot.Why don't you come back to my place some time. I turned out that she was bi and gus was got involved in some hot threesomes. But after eating all that whipped cream off their young supple bodies, he had to go to the bathroom. He crapped out gold coins(by luck) and a deed to a multimillion dollar mansion. Then his newfound lover said hey gus my cousin is benny binion, he will make sure that you never lose at poker again.

O wait...no hes just good.He is an amazing player in a wide variety of games, not just TV suckouts. You are all just jealous.

I watch Gus back home in Copenhagen...Oh my sweet jesus, he is baad..No wonder, he´s got the nickname D.D. (Dangerous Dane).

i think that Gus Hanson is the greatist poker player in the world no one come pare not danile nugranu and defonatly not ramer

He is nicknamed DD? I think he is also nicknamed "Terminator" since he is the only guy who can eliminate so many other players

You people in here who have the balls to say Gus is bad. I wonder why all of you spend most of your time on the internet posting comments instead of playing. Probably because you all suck and a player of Gus' caliber would bend each of you over. Gus plays in some of the biggest games in the world when you are all at home playing low limit hold em with your friends for pennies.

Yeah Gus's "great" play included calling an all in from Antonio E. (who had 77) when Gus held T8 offsuit. He caught a card on the flop. Yeah, real genius play. When he got his card he started flexing his girlie muscles. Gus, spare us that sickening visual, please. Just that is enough to put your opponents on tilt. You look like a death camp survivor, you fucking doorknob.
