Gus Hansen had a very hard time at the poker tables last year as he lost more than $5,5 million dollars, and probably another few millions in sportsbetting. Even though Gus probably can afford to lose this much and still play high stakes, he deiced to take a break and look over his own game. It seems like this break really has paid off, because 2010 has started in the best possible way for "The G[...] Read more » Good start to the New Year for Gus Hansen

U can't really say it's a gr8 start... 200k it's nothing for them i think ... he lost 5,5 mln + more in sports betting... so let's think like 10 milions... so what is 200k? Nothing ^^.

Gus has indeed changed his game but you cannot say that he lost over 4million sports betting thats just an outrageous number. Gus tv has clearly stated that he has indeed indured big losses but nohting to that extreme.
Gus Hansen has lots of money. I'm not shocked if he has lost 4 million. He played very aggressive, and sometimes in a crazy way so ... I think he should raise that issue again.

The way they play at the nosebleed games...i think all the edges are off. They play really crazy, extremely agressive, all durr-like. I think it is always swing-land

well, nice for hanson, but not really impressive. 200k is just a normal swing on that stakes (2 stacks at the highst nl-tables). i don't think he will be up at the end of this year.

200k is a small amount compared to 5.5 mil he lost last year but he's come back after a long break and this winning start will be a big boost to his confidence

Corse you can say its a great start... $200k is a lot and even when you think he has lost $5.5 mil $200k is a step in the right direction yeah. Gus is a top player for sure and he will bounce back defo. Gus will be around for many years to come

Hope he gets again on his winning way. I like the way he plays, and he doesnt feel the same necessity of being as arrogant as others while at the table. He just behaves like a normal guy, smiling and kidding a bit sometimes, others keeping closed, and thats why his face is on the encyclopedias near the definition of "poker".

He's been playing mostly online from his apartment in Monte Carlo. Don't worry about Gus, aside from poker he rakes in quite a bit with backgammon and Golf. He's got bigger stones than Devilfish and instincts sharper than a razor blade. He redefined the game in my opinion.
