Internet Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
by Kole on Sunday, January 23rd, 2022
Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the last table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best players anywhere in the world. While gambling on web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amount. I believe television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found playing net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in big stakes omaha hold’em and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
