Net Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Posted in Poker on 02/01/2020 06:25 pm by Nolan
Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the closing game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He won a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best gamblers in the world. While participating in internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total dollar value. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world could be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in high stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
