Online Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Posted in Poker on 09/19/2025 03:25 pm by RudyGus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the last 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 recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest gamblers anywhere in the world. While participating in web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He often plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the min buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players in the world could be players you have never heard of before. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
