Gus Hansen Talks About His Strategies and Attitudes to Poker
Gus Hansen is without doubt one of the most exciting players in high stakes poker today. He’s also a bit of a wild card, playing with a unique and modern style which has been very successful for him.
In this interview Gus talks about his modern style of poker, what makes him different from many other players, and why he plays a lot of hands, but is always ready to adjust to the game.
He talks about playing a “mathematical” game, making the point that in Hold’em, the flop is 43% of your cards in a hand (3 out of 7). That’s his reasoning for wanting to see a lot of flops.
He discusses the mindset needed to play, how he often continues to play longer than he should when he’s losing, and what the best approach is – playing short sessions when losing, and longer sessions when you’re on a rush!
Finally he talks about tournament play, and why he feels that many players are too timid in tournament play which he calls their “biggest mistake”, any why being more aggressive works for him.
