Lucky Gus

Gus Hansen is not least known because of his spectacular live performances. The Dane can also be found regularly on the highest limits online. Since the beginning of the month, he has played over 25,000 hands and chalked up almost $1.3M in winnings.

So far, the month of July is very promising for Hansen. Over 25,000 hands he has already played in this month. His winnings sum up to almost $1.3M. Only yesterday he was able to book a plus of about $460,000 - in only 1,330 hands. The Dane could thus be able to break the million again, as he has already done so several times in the past.

However, Gus Hansen is also known to often lose his cash game winnings as quickly as he earned them online. If you look at Hansen's total cash game history on Full Tilt Poker, the numbers don't look so bright. Since the beginning of the year, Hansen booked a loss of $430,000. Since January 2007 it's even a minus of almost $1.2M.

This is no reason for Hansen to panic though - after all, he probably pulled in a deal worth several millions with his membership in the 'Team Full Tilt'. Add to this over $2M in tournament winnings since early 2007. Thus there is no reason to be worried about the sympathetic Dane.
