Gus hansen is a poker god!!! It takes pure GUTS to put all your money on the line with a seven deuce offsuit and make another player fold the best hand. He is a master manipulator and his moves are very calculated. I personally think he is in the top 5 players in the work.. Ive seen this guy read through huge bluffs that any other player would fold to. THE GREAT DANE RULES!!! GO GUS!!! Oh and btw.. 4 WPT titles = skill (not luck)

Has anybody told these people that poker is about making another guy fold a good hand when you have rags. I guess all good poker players are just lucky then. If it was all about luck there would be no poker. 9 out of 10 hands Gus will make you fold and win a lot more than that one time that another player wins - when you add it all up you get 3 WPT titles.

To those who keep writing, that Gus is lucky, I just wanted to remind you of the fact that he an live, by playing poker...! it takes more than luck to win at the Bellagio for example... so you guys can go back to your lousy work tommorow, and play your 0,25-0,50$ on the net, and meanwhile, Gus will be earning hundreds of thousands, with his "luck"...

All of those posters who try to model their game on Hanson are wasting their time as his style is so idiosyncratic that you can't really learn to replicate it. Bit like a sprinter trying to model his running style on Jessie Owens or Michael Johnson. Not really going to happen is it?

Gus is a experianced player who makes careless errors. He needs to strenghten his play. His blufing at innapropriat times can and does mess him up.

The best way to play against this guy is when u get a good hand like A-10 or better, pair of 8s or better.. let him raise with with his junk hand, then go ALL-IN immediately. The clown will have to fold almost every time. If u have a moderately good hand like Q-10, 10-J.. try to limp in and see a flop, dont call any of his raises. If you hit a top pair or good drawing hand (open ended str8, flush draw) immediately go ALL-IN. This should fustrate Gus for sure. The main thing to remember - if the board is all rags hes probably hit something so get out immediately unless u hit your high cards good.

I find it so interesting how people judge his play. I admit the first couple of times I saw him play I thought he was a bit careless then I learned more about poker and relized what he was doing and why. I stongly believe that if you don't think Gus is an excellent player of the game then you don't understand poker completly. He does not have to be your favorite but if you don't respect and understand his play then you will never suceed in poker. Maybe if all of you who had negative comments about Gus learn more about the game and at least what he is doing you can stop talking about poker on the net and someday actually talk to Gus in person while you are playing him.

I live in Vegas and play at alot of the different casinos. My friend and I were actually told by two dealers that Gus owed markers here in Vegas exceeding $2 million. They said he was in Monte Carlo trying to earn it to come back and settle. I have heard this rumor quite a bit, but have never heard it was Doyle. I think that part is conjecture. I have played up at WSOP and its true he hasnt played an event yet, but I hope he will be at the WSOP. Altough regardless of how great you are, with that large of a field it is up to the poker gods. You can only control the decisions so far before the cards determine our futures. A good example would be MoneyMakers misread that he had the best hand(3Queens w/ A kicker) in 2003 series against Phil Ivey (9s full of Queens)and hit his ace on the river. Or his pocket 88s later on which were all in against Pocket Rockets and he hit his set on the flop. He clearly was not the favor preflop, but luck is so prevalent in a field of thousands, skill can only go so far.

Hanson can definitely play and play extremely well at that - anyone who doubts his ability is deluding themselves. As for his debts, I'd imagine all the top pros experience that at some stage in their careers, particularly early on.

Geez, i wonder why Gus would be in debt raising with J-6 and 2-4 out of position. The mind boggles. But seriously, his success in the WPT alone should help pay off any debts.

Those of you who think Gus Hansen can't play poker don't UNDERSTAND the way he plays. Gus takes advantage of the fact that when people are facing a raise with a marginal hand, most of them fold. Most of the "junk" hands Gus raises with never go to the flop because most of the time he just steals the blinds. when we see him call a person's all in with a "junk" hand, gus has already accumulated alot of chips by stealing blinds, and if it's not a great deal more to call, gus does it because to him, he's free rolling against them with chips that he won stealing blinds. The reason he seems so lucky, is that on tv, all they show are the all-in's that he comes from behind to win. it's television people. Isn't it more exciting to see someone come from behind to win? that's why they show so many hands where gus sucks out. lol. you simpletons. manipulated into hating gus, thus making him and poker more popular. i'd pity you, but you don't even deserve that.

Gus Hansen's hyperaggresive style works well in tournaments, but it is an all or nothing style. I seriouly doubt he plays that way in the early stage of the tournament. If he does then he must bust out of alot of tournaments very early. As for him being lucky, NOBODY has won a tournament without getting lucky at some point in the tournament

gus is an extremely talented player, anyone who says he is lucky is correct but he puts himself in positions to become lucky by risking his chips. Obviously sometimes he is not lucky because he hasn't won a WPT event in the last 2 seasons, but im expecting that to change!! GO GUS!!

I think i've figured out Gus' style. He likes to play "junk" hands like 10-6 or whatever, and raise em pre-flop because he knows anyone who calls will probably have a couple of high cards like J-K, A-9 whatever.. so on the flop, it might be something like 2 6 8 so hes hit a middle pair. Then he can bet it out and others should fold with such a raggy flop. On the contrary, if the flop looks dangerous like J K A he might try to bluff at it if he senses weakness, otherwise if someone else bets first or goes over the top he'll happily muck his garbage hand. I mean, we'd all like to see the flop with big slick or close to it, but a lot of the time the flop wont be K A 7 or whatever, it'll be junk like 2 6 T and thats what Gus tries to play at. Does this make much sense?

All the people that call Gus Hasen lucky are probably the same ones who learnt to play poker by watching the TV.He looks lucky on TV because they only show a small percentage of the hands,not the countless ones that he folded.So of course their going to show the interesting/lucky/bad beat/crazy bluffs because it makes for good TV.So before you start yaking on about how you would take him and check raise his a$$,trying playing in a proper game of poker,not some lame college affair.These guys are pro for a reason!

For all you bitches that think Gus is lucky, that has horse-shit written all over it. LUCK is a word used by BEGINNERS. Why do you think every time you turn on the damn tv you always see the same people at the same final fucking table kicking the shit out of people like you. All you people that believe in luck are a disgrace to the game of poker and should be hung.

Gus Hanson is a Genius. I wanted to share who yall something that happened at the 10/20 NL table at the Bellagio this year duing the series. Gus was sitting at the table with about 10 grand when my buddy Luke bought in the table for 4,600. A few hands later Luke was in the small blind and picked up aces and raised it to 600. Gus, in the big blind makes it 1200 to go. It folds back around to Luke who makes it 2400. Gus moves in and Luke calls with the aces. The flop comes off 2-3-3, a pretty good flop for aces - except when you are playing Gus Hanson and he moves in with 2-3 offsuit. His explanation for the play - "Luke, I knew that you would have to have aces to call my all in and I didnt think you had aces. Would you have layed down kings?" Luke - "Yes, i would have layed down anything but aces." Gus felt alittle bad it so he bought Luke back in the game with 2000, which he proceded to bluff back in the next hour. THE GUY IS AN ABSOLUTE MACHINE!!!
