Internet High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Sunday, 6. May 2018
Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the last game in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest bettors around the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I believe television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best players in the world might just be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found playing net poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money games?
