Internet High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Friday, 3. March 2017
Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve final table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest enthusiasts around the world. While participating in web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amount. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world at times. The greatest players anywhere in the world may be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in high stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
