Gus Hansen Talks Parting Ways With Full Tilt, Highstakes and Poker Plans - Page 3 - Poker News

Honest interview.
He knows he was the donk in HS games and he knows his leaks (ego, stuborness, tilt) and he still went with it until he finally after 15+ years and as many millions lost went broke or close to it.
I always liked Gussy but damn, hard life lesson.

Dude seems to be doing pretty well and isn't even secretive about his online losses.

We're talking a million in danish kroner which is not the same as a million USD. You see there are different currencies in the world and when some1 tells a danish business site they've invested "in the lower millions" they don't mean USD.

The guy wins at life.
I bet Tom Dwan wishes he was as "broke" as Gus.

I thought the out of focus looks classy, like Gus, but with this third part I realized it's because the camera (auto-)focuses on the mic.

You never see Gus to emotional because he is confident, smart and knows he always wins in the end.

Other than that, you should probably leave breathing to the 99% as well..

GG clown..
