Online Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Thursday, 20. June 2024
Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve closing game 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 remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best bettors in the world. While playing internet poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have never heard of. Gus can be seen gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
