He is bleeding money in cash games for some time now. Looks like the other players at those stakes have figured out his play. Maybe he should stick to tourneys for the nearer future.

gus hansen is my hero- he is such a great poker player, he has the read on his opponents, knows when to raise, when to fold, he can destroy whole table by playing even without taking a peek at his cards. i tell you he is a master of the game- oh wait he is down ~$1m... just ignore what i said- guy doesn't even know what poker is

Gus Hansen seems to be on a losing run which stretches back years. How he keeps bouncing back i will never know and surely he must be running out of money soon. He must have some very wealthy backers to withstand such losses

Gus should stop playing poker all together he keeps losing every years and his loss tally is pretty huge in my opinion but he still ahve a lot of money to play with, but i presume this is sponsorship money going out of the window and not his personal bankroll, so no biggie for him! Anyway i like him for his courage to keep playing though he is losing. So guys he is not going away anytime soon with full tilt sponsoring him. D:
Cheers have a nice day and good luck at the tables guys, go make some money!

Are these numbers correct? 19 milliions down? are you sure? If that is the right number maybe he should start thinking of a career change. If he hasnt bankrupted himself so far and playing with loans, he will do so in the near future. Unless he gets lucky

Means that the alltime losses? But who are the winning pro players in the poker wolrd? We can read in every poker school education, that all solid player are winning players longtime And the real winner is (like every time): the Casino...

I have watched him playing a couple of times and he is the definition of an aggressive player, to a point that it gets silly. Maybe that is the thing messing him up. All the players that he is playing against have him figured.

Gus Hansen has lost more than $ 8 million in 2013 and the third time was the biggest loser of the year in online poker.
How will this 2014 is also a strong candidate to be the biggest loser.
Now I answer Mober:
In total he has lost about $ 19 million since records began.
The sad thing is that Gus is a talented poker player. He has won over $ 11 million in tournaments, WSOP bracelet, the Aussie Millions and three WPT.
The reason you lose so much money not because it is bad in general, is that it insists on playing the games of the highest levels and also against the best in the world.
