Web Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Saturday, 30. May 2026
Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve last poker table in 3 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 may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest players anywhere in the world. While playing internet poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He often competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen more often than not buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be seen gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
