Posted in Poker on 02/16/2024 02:25 pm by Caylee
Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to make it to the last poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While competing in web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all in. I know Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I think television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world might just be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in high stakes omaha hold’em and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in cash games?
