Net Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Posted in Poker on 05/02/2025 03:25 am by Caylee
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the final table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared 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 against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest bettors anywhere in the world. While participating in online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I believe Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amount. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world could be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found wagering on net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money games?
