Can you be a winning player playing like Gus Hansen online?
I have seen enough guys playing like Gus Hansen at the low limit NL tables. Usually I think they are gambling addicts playing the rush. Does anybody on this board playing like this and run over the weak tight NL players?

Low level NL I could see people having success with it. I have tried it from time to time and done well, but I get too crazy with it and forget how to play good poker when I do it too much. I would think someone would have a very hard time playing like this successfully in mid-high stakes NL. |

I suspect that Gus plays cash games alot different than he plays the final stages of a tournament which is all you see on TV.

Re: Can you be a winning player playing like Gus Hansen online?
At the low limits I do employ this whether succesful or not. See, at my B & M we have a lot of regulars playing at the mid to upper level where I usually play, so sometimes I jump into a 4-8 Limit and just fire it up (stradling, raising blind, calling o he river wih junk) just to create an image that keeps my other boys off their guard. I mean, when they hear that Mike busted a low limit game with 73off for over two hours, and then I am at the upper limit and the boad reads 733, I am likely to pull off bluffs. Its all about the table image.

It's usually not very good at low stakes. I think this is beside the point though. Isn't Hansen fairly well-known as a fish in ring games? |

Can you qualify and quantify any of this "playing like" stuff? I'd be happy to answer your question if I knew more what you ment other than the way Gus often makes super aggressive bets and raises at the final table when he holds 50% of the chips on the table and there are four or five players left - and I think a lot of us do that.........

Fyi, Gus isn't a winning player anymore--he owes a lot.
