Online High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen

by Alejandro on August 26th, 2018

Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the last poker table 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 history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest enthusiasts around the world. While playing online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I think television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world may be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found playing web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
