Default Re: Gus Hansen - Poker Pro or Lucky Maniac?

I would have to say that Hansen is a top pro, but then again, all most of us really know about him is what we see on TV. From that standpoint, he plays exceptional "on the edge" poker. What most of us don't know about is his (or any other pro) real $$$ situation or losses on the side games, side bets, etc. Knowing the factual financial information of any of the pros could easily change the way in which we look at them.

How one can become a professional poker player at the highest level and piss their money away to the point of being broke, I cannot understand. I suppose it is the proverbial story of the lotto winner who turns around and loses everything. I can only wish to get the chance to be in their shoes.
