Web Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Posted in Poker on 06/21/2021 03:25 am by Marley
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only participant to achieve final table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best players in the world. While wagering on online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total dollar value. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha/8 and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
