Net High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Posted in Poker on 09/27/2021 01:25 am by Marley
Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only participant to achieve last poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He won a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest enthusiasts around the world. While playing web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to play at the table with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amount. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The best poker players in the world may be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in high stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
