Talk:Gus Hansen

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: "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)

message: 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)
replies: text: We don't do rumor.  It's unlikely there would ever be a reliable source to corroborate something like that. 2005 (talk) 10:16, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

message: 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)
