Online High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
by Alejandro on January 16th, 2020
Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only participant to make it to the final game in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers anywhere in the world. While betting on internet poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amount. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world may be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes omaha hi-low and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
