Gus Hansen Fan

Out of the ten e-mails I get through this site, about 7 are from people who love Gus Hansen “BECAUSE HE’S THE SICKEST POKER PLAYER OF THEM ALL”.

I disagree.

Yes, Gus is capable of making strange and unlogical plays at any point in any game — but mostly during the later stages of a tournament, or in a cash game. Hardly anyone has seen Gus play cash game poker (and the highly edited High Stakes Poker show might be great, but it’s not showing the game in full AT ALL, I think they show about 15% of the hands), and nobody ever sees him play in the first stages of a major tournament.

Gus is a maniac when gambling is worth it — when the blinds and antes are worth getting, and when a lot of people are trying to climb up the money ladder.

Gus the sickest? No way!

EXCELLENT news for High Stakes Poker fans AND Gus Hansen — rumour is he’ll be playing in the Season 5 of High Stakes Poker on GSN — together with other big names like Sam Farha and Daniel Negreanu.

I’m very much looking forward to the new series, I’m sure it’ll be action-packed — and I’m sure Gus will help!
