Gus Hansen - Poker Legend

Nicknamed the ‘Great Dane’ Gus Hansen is one of the most aggressive poker players on the world circuit. His reputation precedes him when it comes to pre-flop raises and reckless abandonment making him a very dangerous tournament player.

Like many poker players, years of playing backgammon has contributed to his developed skill and aggressive gambling style. Hansen credits the lessons learned from being a ranked professional backgammon player for his rapid rise to success in poker.

Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, Hansen is relatively new to the world poker scene but has already amassed winnings in excess of $1.8 million and has three WPT championship wins to his name.

Hansen plays cards that most of us would rather walk away from the table then play but incredible skill, great bluffing techniques and hard-line betting goes a long way – it’s taken Gus Hansen to three WPT titles so how bad can it be?

Gus Hansen doesn’t have a personal website yet but he does contribute to www.pokerchamps.com so check it out if you’d like to know more about this great player.
