Net Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Friday, 17. May 2024
Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest players in the world. While playing online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the total dollar value. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world could be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in money games?
