Web High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Sunday, 26. June 2022
Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the final game in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen 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 up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest players anywhere in the world. While gambling on web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen more often than not buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has little or no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world at times. The best poker players in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be seen gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in high stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
