Gus Hansen is one of the best and more popular players on the Online Poker, with thousands of followers and a great name in the industry he enjoys playing poker and teaching.
He was born in 1974 outside of Copenhagen, Denmark. Hansen was always fascinated by numbers and math (this is why he is so good at playing poker). He was a starting backgammon and gin rummy player, and he used to hang out with Huckleberry Seed and Phil Laak. While he was playing backgammon and gin rummy, he was introducing to many poker games, including his favorite game – Stud -.
He played his first WSOP in 1996 when he had no experience on playing No-Limit Hold’em. He was out during the first day, but he didn’t give up and he decided he was going to keep on playing and experimenting with styles.

In 2002 he went to another WSOP, but this time he had another playing style, he developed a loose, aggressive play that helped him win some money. He had other winnings like, the WPT’s inaugural event, the $10,000 No-Limit Hold’em tournament at the Five Diamond World Poker Classic.
In 2006 he made his first television appearance in the second season of High Stakes Poker after taking down the biggest pot in that show ever ($575,700). In that opportunity he defeated Daniel Negreanu and won the tournament. That same year he took the first place at the Full TiltPoker.com London All Star Challenge.
Next year he won the Aussie Millions Main Event and got over $1.2 million.
Hansen is not only a great poker player but he enjoys being part of many aspects of the poker industry. In 2008 Lyle Stuart published Hansen’s book – Every Hand revealed. He also launched GusHansenTV which is branded as a free poker channel in the internet.
