Net Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Posted in Poker on 06/11/2020 03:25 am by Shelby
Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing game in 3 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 may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest gamblers around the world. While gambling on internet poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total dollar value. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players in the world might be players you have never heard of. Gus can be found betting on web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in big stakes omaha hold’em and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
