Online High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Monday, 16. June 2025
Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve closing game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest enthusiasts around the world. While gambling on net poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I know Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amount. I think tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world may be players you have never heard of before. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
