Net Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Posted in Poker on 10/26/2022 01:25 pm by Christopher
Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the last table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He won a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While betting on web poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players in the world may be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found competing in net poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
