BLUFF magazine takes a shot at Hansen
 

was reading new bluff mag this morning, and in the railbird section they mentioned that Gus has been noticably absent from WSOP events this year, and that it might be because he was rumored to have lost his BR in big side games at last years WSOP (ie. he's broke).

Pretty tough for major mag to imply this without proof..

I skimmed through bluff while takin a crap at Bay101 the other night. As far as poker rags go, Bluff is pretty good.

I doubt Gus wouldn't be able to find backers.

Whats that? Gus's luck finally ran out?

Re: BLUFF magazine takes a shot at Hansen
 

he was too busy playing in the $4,000-$8,000 game the whole time i was in vegas during the WSOP. i think one needs a pretty nice bankroll for that.

Re: BLUFF magazine takes a shot at Hansen
 

Gus has never been one to play the preliminary events. This is nothing new!!

Uh from what I heard he wasn't even in the country.

Although last year he didn't play in any of the WSOP prelim events either.

Not from what I saw when I was in Vegas about two weeks ago. Cruising around the Bellagio card room I saw Gus, Doyle, and Sammy Farha all sitting together playing in the big game. It was pretty cool to be able to see them all sitting there playing.

Re: BLUFF magazine takes a shot at Hansen
 

He played in the $10K PLO event, but I don't think there were any others. He didn't play any of the prelims in 2004.

Gus only plays in the bigger buy-in events. In a interview on gutshot.com, he mentioned that he doesn't care too much for WSOP bracelets either.

I have no idea why someone like Gus would pass all these tourneys up. Seems like a horrible idea.

Re: BLUFF magazine takes a shot at Hansen
 

There was a chat session with him, I think on cardplayer.com, where he said he's not interested in events with less than a $10k buy-in.

He probably thinks he has a higher hourly rate in the bigger cash games (I don't know if that's reasonable or not).

I always wondered about that - so, if he gets further and further while in the money, into higher and higher payouts, does his beard actually shrink while he's sitting there? What's the deal with that?

This is a quality magazine review. Take notes young journalists.
