Gus "The Great Dane" Hansen is often described best using one word "Crazy". Anybody can be like Gus all you have to do is play any two cards. However what seperates Gus from the rest of us is a staggering $2,176,846.
Haling from Denmark, before turning to playing poker professionally in 1997, Gus Hansen was a world class backgammon player and a youth tennis champion. Typical of the active Danish lifestyle, Gus was known for being a sports enthusiast throughout his teens, competing in several indoor and outdoor sports as a successful junior athlete. In 2000, he moved to New York City, and tried to make a living playing professional backgammon, but found the field too small for his taste.
Gus Hansen is considered a probability expert and understands equity calculations, a talent that comes in handy when playing high-stakes poker. His unusual expertise in this area enables him to redefine |
"correct" play, weighing the probabilities of the hands of his opponents, who act in certain ways according to common equations.
