I voted that I consider him a "top pro".
Although, like the rest of us he's human and so my opinion is that brilliant though he may be, he's got flaws and when it comes to Gus Hansen, it's obvious that when he makes a mistake, it'll be through excessive aggression.
So some of his aggression is a fault, some is brilliance. With the kind of attitude that meets most situations (at least on the card table) with aggression, you are going to see huge fluctuations in his bankroll.
My personal belief is that you don't do what he's done without being damn good at what you do and so I'd expect him overall make more money than he loses. I am not certain of that, it's just an educated guess because it all comes down to whether or not he can keep his aggressive mindset in check, and still listen to it enough to make the big bucks. |
