Copenhagen, Denmark.
Gus Hansen has been a competitor for many
years. Before he played poker, he was a
ranked backgammon player. He started
playing poker in Santa Cruz, California..
Gus Hansen's poker play is unconventional
compared to other players. He didn't learn how
to play poker by reading books; he came up
with his own style through trial and error. Gus
Hanson's post flop play is so good that he can
play a lot of hands that other poker players are
unwilling to play.

Phil has a book out called, "Play Poker Like the Pros". His World Series of Poker
accomplishments include first place finishes in The Championship Event in 1989, Limit
Holdem in 1992, 1993, and 2003, two No Limit Holdem events in 1993, one in 2001,
and one in 2003, and Pot Limit Holdem in 1997.
Phil Hellmuth, in classic John McEnroe style, has proven himself to be both one of the
most proficient tournament poker players of all time and one of the most cantankerous
poker figures of all. He always seems to get upset when someone beats him, whether
by luck or skill… but its pretty obvious that Phil doesn’t consider getting beaten by skill
a possibility.
Unfortunately for Phil Hellmuth, whose lifetime ambition is to be the greatest poker
player of all time, he may well achieve his goal, but ultimately go into the poker history
books more for his public perception

tournaments he plays and generally only joins some of the larger buy-in events.

the first three inductees into the World Poker Tour Walk of Fame, with Doyle Brunson,
and actor James Garner.
