Web High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen

by Bo on July 11th, 2022

Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve final table in 3 of the tournaments. 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 high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world. While gambling on web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not 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 believe Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the min buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the best poker 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 greatest poker players in the world may be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found competing in net poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in big stakes omaha/8 and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
