Net High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Friday, 18. January 2019
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing game in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world. While participating in internet poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He often competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
