Internet Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen

by Kole on August 2nd, 2026

Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve closing poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large 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 players anywhere in the world. While gambling on online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the greatest poker 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 sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world could be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in high stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money games?
