POKER INFO - PROILE - Gus Hansen

He has played well against week players, his 3 wPTwins have been against weak players whom he, like Ivey, and Daniel N out play week players on the flop with weak hands, and thats great, the difference is that Dan and Phil can also do that against strong players. THough he won the Super Stars Invitational, he won it with many suck outs in the early goings. Better players like Reese, Greenstein, and Brunson had HORIBLE LUCK in that tourney. As far as cash games, his style does not suit cash games, and he's known as a loser in the top cash games, in the Bellagio game with Brunson, Greenstein, Danny N., Ivey, and Reese, where it's a mixed game, usually HORSE, or SHOE he's a real fish in these games, for 3 reasons. 1. he's a one trick pony, tournament hold em is all he can do well at, he's also a horrible stud hi/lo player, 2. he's playing against top players, not college kids who play online, 3. his style is too wreckless, it works EXTREMELY well at tournaments because you have to build your chip stack quickly to be able to keep up with the blinds that continue to rise. You all tell me about editing on tv, the same can be said about the toruneys on a whole, all we see is what he wins, what we don't see is that he loses more turneys than he wins. Yeah he still wins, but he can't do that in a cash game, where there is no rush to get chips, where solid play is best.

awesome player. looks a bit like my friend mivvy!

sammy the brick. Reading his last post just makes me laugh he's trying to discredit a top pro!!saying he can play well against weak players but not strong ones....well i would love to have the money that Gus has i mean as sammy the brick says he plays in the biggest cash games 4000/8000 and is a big loser but still he plays it regularly for the last 2/3years...it just makes you wonder a)Why he continues to play it? and b)Where the hell does he get the money from to continue playing in it?....Either sammy the prick is full of shit or Gus Hansen is a crap poker player hmmmmm not sure which it is!

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.

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.
