Net Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Posted in Poker on 11/13/2026 04:25 pm by Christopher
Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the final game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest bettors anywhere in the world. While betting on net poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
