Net High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Thursday, 29. August 2024
Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve last table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest gamblers in the world. While wagering on net poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I think television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best poker players in the world might be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen competing in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes Omaha and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in money games?
