HangukMiguk 8 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 hansen is just a beast, that is all. i use to despise him, because of his hyperagressive play that made him look like a donk. but watching him over and over again, it's clear that he understands the game far better and can actually make that style work. it's just insane. what's sicker is how he is able to switch gears and wait for premium hands and just ride off his reputation.

Mercury69 3 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Looks to me like Fricke got super lucky and lost his ability to suck out when it counted. You can almost guarantee he was paying scared against Gus. Fricke made a few ballsy moves, but it seemed like they were designed to force Gus to make the hard decision and Gus made the right decision one too many times for Gobboboy (he really does look like a human gobbo). Anyway, great run by Fricke through the PCA and the Aussie Millions. Props to him for capitalizing and, essentially, playing quite well, all suckouts aside (hey, that's poker!).

Volume26 0 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 After this hand I'm glad Gus won in the end. What a read and call in that situation only for Fricke to suck out. An amazing call leads to another river suckoutNo Limit Hold 'emJan 19, 2007 / 04:20:47 EDTGus Hansen bet 425k and Jimmy Fricke called.Flop Jd10d10hFricke checkedHansen bet 500k and Fricke immediately moved all in for 4.3m. Hansen began talking to himself, "I could be up against that...I could be up against that...this could be the worst call ever...he could have that...he could have that...wow...wow...I call."Jimmy Fricke KdQcGus Hansen AhKhHansen made a huge call and is in the lead. A 9 is the only card that can help Fricke unless he makes runner-runner. The turn brought the 10s and a Q will also give Fricke the pot. The river 9c gave Fricke yet another river suck-out giving Fricke a straight. Link to post Share on other sites
silkyjonson 1 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I think Hansen's game has gotten better lately. I think when he first came on the scene people were really taken aback by his unorthodox style and that allowed him to plow through some big fields and his willingness to play for the win led to him having great success on the WPT. But I think over the last couple years people caught on to his image and it made it very difficult to play his style in large field tournaments. I think he has made a few adjustments lately and is playing awesome, I expect to see a lot from him in 07. Link to post Share on other sites
