Online Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
December 23rd, 2019 by Miranda

Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve closing poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While gambling on net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy-in.

Playing for the min takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the best players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amount. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world may be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be seen participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes omaha/8 and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in money games?
