Online High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Thursday, 8. December 2022
Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve last game in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While competing in internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus frequently 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 a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best players in the world might just be players you have never heard of before. Gus can be found playing online poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
