    Default Gus Hansen runs like God on Full Tilt Poker

    Gus Hansen's style of poker can sometimes be described as lunacy, this month on Full Tilt Poker has been no different, and it has paid off in the millions.

    After a $980k+ session yesterday, it brings him over the $3.2m mark for the month of October, impressive no matter which way you look at it.
    Gus won $590k in Hold 'Em, $145k in Omaha, $192k in Omaha H/L & $97k in H.O.R.S.E

    Below was Gus' biggest online pot on record;

    Full Tilt Poker $500/$1000 No Limit Hold'em - 4 players

    Brian Hastings (BTN): $222984.00
    Gus Hansen (SB): $226745.00
    durrrr (BB): $1207596.20
    Urindanger (CO): $233522.55

    Pre Flop: ($1500.00)
    1 fold, Brian Hastings raises to $3000, Gus Hansen raises to $10500, 1 fold, Brian Hastings calls $7500

    Flop: ($22000.00) 9 3 5 (2 players)
    Gus Hansen bets $16000, Brian Hastings calls $16000

    Turn: ($54000.00) 4 (2 players)
    Gus Hansen requests TIME, Gus Hansen bets $200245 all in, Brian Hastings calls $196484 all in

    River: ($446968.00) 4 (2 players - 2 are all in)

    Final Pot: $446968.00
    Brian Hastings shows 9 7 (two pair, Nines and Fours)
    Gus Hansen shows K K (two pair, Kings and Fours)
    Gus Hansen wins $446966.00
    (Rake: $2.00)

    Congrats to Gus, I just hope he has some of that money left for when I reach the nosebleeds.

    Stay tuned for a full update on the last week in poker tomorrow afternoon...

    lol, not even close!

    Gus really needs to sort out his 3bet sizing pre flop though

    why?
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    I don't think stack size warrant a bigger pre flop raise or 3 bet size. Why would you want to overly infalte the pot when you are that deep? The larger the stacks the less likely you'll be playign for them in drwing spots and standard 100BB shove spots. Therefore its probably wiser to keep the pot under control and raed your opponents hand a little easier.

    This hand is pretty hard to figure out without the history but the way it was played suggests there is some. Gus is definate is hand is best here and is also pretty sure his overbet shove is betting paid or he bets smaller here. Would be very interesting if someone has the 10 hands previous.
