Web High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Saturday, 10. July 2021
Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the last game 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 remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best enthusiasts around the world. While gambling on web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total dollar value. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players in the world might just be guys you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen wagering on internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in cash games?
