Online Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Posted in Poker on 02/07/2022 08:25 pm by SkylaGus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve last game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest players around the world. While playing online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus regularly competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world may be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes omaha/8 and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
