Gus Hansen is not having the best of times at the poker tables these days. The multiple WPT winner has never had the best of runs on the online felt, but recently it seems he has started to spiral, leading many to ask, "Is Gus Hansen a degen?"

As of the end of the 4th of November 2013, Gus had lifetime online losses of $13,908,337. About $3.21m of these losses were before Full Tilt changed hands, but the lion's share of the losses have been since Full Tilt re-launched with Gus part of the three man "Professionals" Full Tilt Poker sponsored team.
I talked to Hansen back in March of 2013 at the Season 9 London stop of the PokerStars European Poker Tour. We discussed his losses, and why he thought he was on a downward trend with his online results.
