Gus Hansen - October 2008

Gus Hansesn October 2008 earnings as of today (October 20) have reached over $3.2 Million!!  That is increidble!  We all know Gus Hansen is one of the worlds top poker players, but to be causing that much terror in the big money rooms at Full Tilt Poker is simply amazing.

Last Monday night Gus won over half a million dollars at Texas Hold ‘em.  And also cashed in over $100 000 in both PLO and Omaha Hi/Lo.  Not to mention more wins in a HORSE game.  It’s really amazing to just sit back and realize how good Gus Hansen really is.  Some people say he’s the luckiest man in the world, which may be true sometimes, but he is also one of the most skilled poker players who has ever lived!

Anyways, it’s funny because the question is “How To Trap” while playing poker and I just love what Gus Hansen has to say…

According to HighStakesDB.com Gus Hansen has added an amazing $1.92 Million to his bankroll over the first 18 days of October. Gus is known for his huge bankroll swings when it comes to his online games, and it is very clear that this is his month for a huge upswing. WOW!

A lot of Hansens’s huge profit gains this month are from the high stakes Omaha Hi/Lo games on Full Titlt Poker. And by “A Lot” I mean over 1.5 MILLION DOLLARS!

I found an awesome story online where Gus Hansen tells us about one of his favorite bluffs of all time and being the awesome guy that I am I figured I’d share it with all of you, enjoy!

“A lot of times, the great bluff doesn’t depend so much on your own hand, but more on what read you put on your opponent, sometimes in combination with the board. One of the ones I remember the best, probably because I’ve seen it played over and over again on TV, was at the WPT L.A. Poker Classic in 2003, against Andy Bloch. I had a 4-2 offsuit, and by the turn it was clear that I had no chance of winning. So I tried to bluff on the turn, he called, it was a semi-scary board, and I felt he had some kind of a hand but was not too happy about it. And a real scary card came on the river, making four to a straight. I felt he was on the second or third pair and he just didn’t want to see that straight card come out there. He checked, and I bet on the river and took down the pot with four-high. And that’s what a bluff is all about. It’s not just blindly throwing a lot of money out there, but really analyzing the situation.”

I’m not sure how often I will actually post a weekend report, but I’ll start now and we’ll see where it takes us. Tom Dwan was the biggest winner of the weekend as far as onling poker goes. Tom (or “Durrr” as he is known in the online poker community) raked in over half a million dollars to put an end to his recent losing streak.

And Gus Hansen, the Great Dane himself, had an awesome weekend pulling in over $537000!!! WOW! Then again, it should be no surprise that these guys won so much, they are universally known as 2 of the best online poker players today and are among the largest grossing online players of all time!

Gus Hansen not only made it to the final table of The Aussie Millions Main Event in 2007, but he won the whole thing taking home One Million Dollars!! You can read all about it in his book “Every Hand Revealed” but I’ll save my review of that novel for another day.

Today I bring you how it all went down at that final hand… how exactly did he take out Jimmy Fricke? Well, pocket Aces helps :)

Here we see a hand during the Aussie Millions between Gus Hansen and Jeff Madsen. For those that want a little bit of a background on Jeff, allow me to fill you in. Jeff Madsen was born on June 7, 1985 in Santa Monica, California. And, you guessed it, he plays at Full Tilt Poker! He’s also the youngest bracelet winner (and 2 time bracelet winner) is World Series of Poker history!

Anyways, on with the video. All I can say is just watch because this is some sick stuff.

The World Poker Tour (or WPT as it is also known) is a bunch of poker tournaments that features a lot of the worlds best professional poker players. It is essentially a collection of Texas Hold ‘Em poker tournaments and the television show, which debuted in 2002, is one of the causes for the poker boom over the last 8 years.

The tournaments are open to anyone who wants to buy in, or to those who can win a spot. Here I will go through the tournaments where Gus Hansen has appeared in the final table.

Season One

The first event was called “Five Diamond World Poker Classic”. It was a 5 day event that went from May 27 2002 to June 1 2002. The total number of people who entered this event was 146. Gus Hansen actually won the 1st place prize of $556,460. The 5 runners up were John Juanda, Freddy Deeb, John Hennigan, Chris Bigler and Scotty Nguyen.

The next time Gus Hansen made it to a WPT final table was during a 4 day event which ran from February 21 2003 to February 24 2003 and was titled “LA Poker Classic”. There were 135 entries to this game and again Gus Hansen was the winner. His first place prize this time was $532,490.
