Online Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Posted in Poker on 02/27/2021 06:25 am by IzaiahGus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing game in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest players anywhere in the world. While wagering on internet poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full dollar value. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best players in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found wagering on net poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
