Posted in Poker on 12/08/2024 02:25 am by Marcus
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the last table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest enthusiasts around the world. While gambling on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amt.. I think television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best players in the world may be players you have never heard of before. Gus can be found gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money games?
