Gus Hansen is one of the few high-stakes poker pros who give us a glimpse of what goes on behind the doors of Bobby's Room at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.
Even though he failed to cash a significant amount that befits a super high-stakes player during the 50th year anniversary of the WSOP (he won $20,200 for placing 689th at the 2019 WSOP Event #73: $10,000 Main Event), Hansen was able to accumul[...] Read more » Gus Hansen cashes out Seven-Figure Stack at Bobby's Room

I do not understand very well what was here and how much Gus Hansen lost with Dan Jungleman Cates, but if he lost all the money which he won the day before, then it is not ok. This professional player he does not know how to protect his bankroll. When you win a big amount, you have to put a part for personal life. He does not do that.

Quite some time, since we last heard about him winning a good amount of money. It was one loss after another at some point, with a couple small breaks. And even after this win which we dont know the exact amount, he lost money once more. Story of his life
I think I haven’t heard anything about Gus Hanson for quite a while ... Probably because he didn’t have any significant winnings or defeats .... And then the seven-digit number he could win .... it certainly deserves a separate news .... Probably because he already has a solid age so he doesn't play very much .... Although poker This is his life

There was another news a few months ago when Gus Hansen he had returned to high-stakes games where he had won something but other news has not been heard. I think he really loves the cash tables and MTT tournaments are less important to him.
I thought he said he was retiring last year when he kept on losing big money all the time. What happened to him since then? He's giving it a last shot or what?
Anyways I loved his style back in the poker after dark days because he was agressive and unpredictable but his problem is he tends to go to showdown a lot. And if he's losing more than 50% of those, he's probably not gonna be ev+ for that session.

Well, I wouldn't mind cashing out a 7-figure amount of money, and if I did I sure as h*ll wouldn't risk any big part of it. I would just go away and change my life for the better. But I'm sure the temptation to keep on playing would be really strong and i I know myself correctly, I would probably take at least one shot at a decent buy-in MTT.

Most players who win big money he does not risk how Gus Hansen does. This man has a talent to earn money and then to lose them. If we remember well he has lost over 20 million dollars in Full Tilt. This is unacceptable for most of the professionals players. With that money you've arranged for life.

Of course, if he wins cash games, it’s quite difficult to track down these Victories ... Unless these Victories are as extraordinary as Victory ... maybe he plays and wins enough money to provide himself with cash games .... and multi-canteen tournaments for him, this is already a hobby ... since it is quite difficult to play for several days with great effort

Gus Hansen he is accustomed to playing long poker games. This man has a much better physical condition than many other players. His disadvantage is that he does not know when to stop. When you earned money, you have to take a break. You go on vacation. You're visiting your family. Gus does not do that. He plays and loses everything. This is very bad thing. It's a mania of the game.

Gus Hansen knows best where he has money to play. He is a man of character and until now did not disappoint anyone. If he had debts, he paid them. If he borrowed money he paid. He is not a farer and a crook. He's a good man and a player who has a great passion, poker ...
Of course, hanson is a wonderful and famous poker player who has never seen any frauds .... so of course it's nice when this person reaches the next summit .... given that poker is his life, of course, from time to time he will win some significant money .... long life hanson

Because i read more about him on various sites and on wikipedia. He's a man with quality and was not involved in the black Friday scandal. I saw that he was not involved in other scandals and is a player who knows how to lose. If he was a bad man we knew that but is not the case.

You can find out, if you read news about him. I can't search for certain materials with him because i'm not allowed to write here, what i find on other sites. The BRM rule does not allow this and is not normal to look for what i know. Gus Hansen is a man which is appreciated for its fairness.
