Internet High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Saturday, 7. December 2024
Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the closing table in three of the tournaments. 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 big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While betting on web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He frequently participates in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I think tv can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world may be players you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes Omaha and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
