Net Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Posted in Poker on 04/24/2016 12:21 am by Christopher
Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the final poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best enthusiasts in the world. While gambling on net poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often participates in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the min buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world may be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
