It's very hard times for Gus "The Great Dane" Hansen at the moment. Nothing is working out the way he wants, and he keeps on losing big. Gus Hansen, has lost over 4.8 million dollars at Full Tilt poker since April this year. One can't even imagine how it feels after losing so much money. Many people probably have asked themselves this question many times: Why don't poker players that have earned m[...] Read more » Hard times for Gus Hansen

Its just a game of luck and now the "pros" luck are running out ... gambling addicted fools that only need larger and larger doses of adrenaline and stakes, of course a lot of the well known pros will bust if they only raise raise raise raise the stakes.
How do people get the info on them? Whenever i go to full tilt theres never anyone playing above limits of 50/25$, ive heard of high stakes db is that it?

I couldnt agree more. Thats my belief too. That poker is just a game of luck and all that crap about books, systems and being a poker "PRO" (how the hell someone can be a pro in poker or in black jack for example if that matters since they are both card games based in luck) its just foolish. And before someone tries to tell me the opposite just take a look again in the sum that this poker "PRO" lost. Cause no matter how much money he has or he won so far from playing poker losing so much its just an incredible stupidity.
You won some money (a large respectable sum like these guys did or do) by doing simply nothing, (they must be in a super physical and mentally condition to do that profession which requires hard work) so stop being a major moron who just wants to keep winning more, since the freaking LUCK goes bye bye many times and put the money you won somewhere else and do something safer.
that is what is happening they aren't the best players anymore but don't want 2 admit and therefore the have 2 lose much more before they realize that the arent anymore!

.......... Being a PRO is not as easy as it looks...
A. Did U won EPT, WPT, WSOP or any respectable tournaments? B. If A pro loses 1.5$million fe. so?? >>>> Do U know his actual bankroll / how much money he has???? C. Ur a douchebag fok sake. Do u have any idea what ur actually talking about? I mean, when i went ti vegas, I saw them play or sitting in the Redrock, Horse on the 500/1000 tables for example. not everything is recorded from what the pros do........ djeez U want them phonenumbers to call em what they are doin? go ahead, I give U their numbers.
They do alot more then U think. Media just highligts the bad streak or the top winnings, but never inbetween.

I hope nothing wrong happens to Gus, and i wish him the same luck in game i want for me, which is a lot, but i think Hollywood already made a film about the " not a chance in the whole world that Gus will stop playing at the highest stakes until he has made of for all the losses" story. It's an Eddie Murphy movie were two old extremely rich fellows became extremely poor living in the streets. Everybody should understand its limits!

i havent won any of these and im not gonna since its not my life goal if its yours good luck with it.
I know that if he can lose 4.8mil it means it has more , but the thing you are not gonna get, is that someone may lose evrything he has like many people did by gambling and many will. that inckudes poker too. if it was that easy for everyone by watching a game or reading a few books to win that kind of money everyone would be a PRO poker player. But since its difficult for your pea brain to get it in order for someone to be a winner someone must be a looser.that goes for poker too. and dont tell me that you dont know cases with people losing everything they got in poker. cause if you dont i sure do.
you better watch your mouth too cause i didnt say anything personal for you. and if he is a relative of yours or a friend you can speak but if not just shut your mouth, cause you will have to read a couple more times my previous post to understand what ive said, if you can of course.
And yes i know very well what im talking about, but the thing is you didnt get the point on what i wrote before. so instead of being upset for nothing try to be upset for something reasonable, and i will give you one more hint since you are not good at it, try to be with some logic in it.

i think if he's having fun playing poker at high stakes and has money to afford it then whats wrong with it. he's on a losing streak for some time, i'm sure he'll bounce back with a big win.
