Please so not delete the trivia about Hanson's love of baking again. You are not the only one who knows of Gus Hanson's many hobbies.
Re your analysis of his game Evercat. I am fine with it all but the phrase " Implied odds and pot odds seem to form a large part of his game."... the implication being that these aren't a critical part of the game of other players who earn their living through poker. If that is true then this poker bubble is going to bust hard one day not too long from now! Pcb21| Pete 15:08, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
can someone confirm he won the "second" highest pot in high stakes poker? I'm almost sure in the later seasons it had higher pots
Doyle Brunson vs Guy Laliberte 818k Pot
Known for being a Willem Dafoe look-a-like? Hadn't heard that before... is it really relevant on wikipedia? He is known for being a great poker player, not for looking like willem dafoe.
Gus is about 25 years younger than him. He absolutely DOES NOT look anything like him at all.
I concur, mentioning Gus Hansen as a Willem Dafoe look-a-like is ridiculous, and has nothing to do with poker; therefore irrelevant. -- DavidD4scnrt ( talk) 03:32, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Do you understand that you keep removing things that CAME FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH -- live broadcast and print interviews, as well as pretty big articles about him both here and abroad?
Just to point out, if you google search for "gus hansen" "poker tramp" you will get results attributing this nickname to him. Essexmutant 08:33, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
that fan site's writing is laughable. (backgammon is called a "card game")
is someone going to work in that he is in a couple of DVD's and supposedly wrote a book? (i can't find the book on amazon, just the DVD's). thanks!
i'm sure you guys are all savvy enough to realise that just because we share an IP address doesn't mean we are all the same person.
how nice of you to create the GIN PLAYERS category. :)
why didn't you do the same thing when i was trying to get BACKGAMMON PLAYERS (and DANISH BACKGAMMON PLAYERS) to work? there are quite a few of them, some of them world champions.
"I am a very individual person. I like gambling. I love what I do and I love the fact that I don’t have to answer to anyone. It sounds egotistical, but if I have to choose between you and me, it’s me, baby. As far as my situation is concerned right now, this way of life gives me a lot of freedom — no girlfriend, no ties, and I’m not looking. I like to hang out and have fun. I like my independence. I don’t want to make promises I can’t keep."
"He seems to focus his play on maximizing his implied odds". I'm not sure what is meant here, perhaps "maximizing the expected value of his hands by calculating the implied odds accurately" (everyone wants to do that so that's not his "style") or "wants to get into situations where the implied odds are good" (again, that's quite obvious and I wouldn't call that his "style")? My earlier attempt to clarify it resulted in a POVish sentence, and the current version of this section is not much better than that. Also, "Perhaps most importantly, he is a probability expert, in command of the equity calculations necessary to play high level poker" sounds really POVish. Any ideas on improving this section? -- Zoz (t) 22:53, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Should Gus Hansen feature on List of all-rounders in games of skill? (See discussion on Talk:List of all-rounders in games of skill.) -- JocK 18:56, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
I would like to remove the nicknames "Gamblin' Gus" and "Gatlin Gun". I have watched Gus on countless broadcasts of the WPT, EPT, High Stakes Poker, and PSIT, and I have never heard anyone mention either of these names. Has anyone else heard him referenced as either of these ridiculous names?
Would anyone be able to add a section on Gus Hansen and his affiliation with Full Tilt Poker. Perhaps a story on how he came aboard-- with citation/ sources of course. Rumor has it that he joined the online Poker team in exchange of them taking care of his debts from the Big Game. -- DavidD4scnrt ( talk) 03:47, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Along with Michael Mizrachi, Gus Hansen is the only player to have scored four 7-digit sums of money. Although I'm not sure it's entirely notable, thought some people might be interested. JaeDyWolf ~ Baka-San ( talk) 23:24, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
