Internet High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?

by Maci on May.23, 2023, under Poker

Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve last game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest bettors around the world. While playing net poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He often competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus 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 know Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total dollar value. I think television can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world may be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found gambling on net poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money rounds?
