Net High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Posted in Poker on 06/02/2022 03:25 pm by Christopher
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve last game in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He won a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While playing internet poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full dollar value. I think television can alter our view of the real world at times. The best poker players in the world might just be players you have never heard of. Gus can be seen betting on net poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in cash games?
