Online High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Friday, 7. March 2025
Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve closing poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He won a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While gambling on internet poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players in the world might just be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be found gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in high stakes Omaha and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
