Internet High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Posted in Poker on 11/17/2025 06:25 am by Christopher
Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve last game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a large pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest gamblers around the world. While wagering on web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The best players in the world could be players you have never heard of before. Gus can be seen participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
