Only a day after he discussed in detail why high stakes online poker is not for him, Gus Hansen decided to visit “Trickett’s Room” on partypoker and play a casual session of $100/$200 PLO…
Hansen appeared on Joe Ingram’s podcast Poker Life on Tuesday where the two talked at length about Hansen’s massive losses he suffered playing high stakes online cash games - during the interview “the Great Dane” himself admitted that online poker is not his strong suit and he should probably stick to live poker or backgammon.
The very next day, however, Hansen was playing live-streamed $100/$200 Pot-limit Omaha on partypoker against players like Sam Trickett, Czech casino owner Leon Tsoukernik and Swedish poker pro Ghena Dawoud. The high stakes partypoker cash game was mentioned on the podcast the day before, Ingram recommended to his guest as a loose, fun game where he believed Hansen had a good chance of being profitable. Lo and behold, Hansen was at the table within 24 hours, buying in with a $20K stack.
Hansen has played a profitable high stakes PLO session recently on Poker After Dark, so had every reason to join the action expecting to make some money.
