Online Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Wednesday, 31. January 2024
Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve final poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest players anywhere in the world. While betting on web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He often participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to sit at the table with the min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I think television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in money games?
