Posted in Poker on 04/23/2025 01:25 pm by Rudy
Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve last game in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest gamblers in the world. While participating in net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen 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 Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has little or no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one 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 poker players in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
