Net Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
by Alejandro on October 24th, 2022
Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He won a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest players anywhere in the world. While competing in net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money games?
