Net High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Posted in Poker on 07/02/2020 07:25 am by Skyla
Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only participant to achieve final poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He won a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While playing web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen more often than not buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players in the world may be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be seen wagering on online poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
