Online Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Posted in Poker on 10/10/2022 05:25 am by Lilly
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve last table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest players in the world. While competing in online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen usually 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 know Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full dollar value. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in big stakes omaha/8 and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money rounds?
