POKER INFO - PROILE - Gus Hansen

gus is class takes a gamble with a rubbish hand and gets people of a good hand hopefully he will do well at the wsop 2005

I think this guy has the best style there is. It's just fun, and in the end he gets money! He's not one of those people who sits there for hours just grinding away, slowly bringing in chips at a steady pace, and that's what is great about him. I'm rooting for him at the wsop 2005. By the way, I'll be there some day.

The fact that he he plays in 4000/8000 games says it all,and he's also won a few wpt titles.Why do people keep saying he's a bad player?!obviously people are just joking...but it does get boring reading it

The man knows his stuff...GUS du har min fulde respekt.!

I already said that Gus is a great reader, and numbers man. I just happen to think that he is too stubborn and can't make the big lay down, that's the sign of a truly great player. The best players occationally lay down even the best hand.

What makes you think your right sammy the brick...maybe what you think is Gus being "stubborn and can't make the big lay down" he is really creating a table image where his opponents know he will call bluffs and in the long run he will get paid off with big pots. How can you criticise him for being stubborn when you only see selected key hands on tv...its not a true reflection of how the table is playing. He wouldn't win big tournements or be playing in big cash games if he couldn't make big lay downs....you clearly dont know much about poker which is probably why you chose to come on this website and abuse posters and pro poker players.

I just saw Gus Hansen at the Shooting Star tournament. Without a doubt, he was the most personable, friendliest player in the room. He always stopped to say hello to fans, and he gave several fans extra poker t-shirts, including taking off his sweatshirt and giving it away when he ran out of extras. I was so impressed with his attitude. I don't consider myself a "fan" of players, but I'm now a fan of his. Best of luck, Gus, and keep being a genuine nice guy.
