Net High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Posted in Poker on 08/24/2021 01:25 am by Marley
Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to make it to the closing game in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest bettors anywhere in the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He often competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amount. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world might be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha/8 and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
