On Friday, March 9, Danish poker pro Gus Hansen posted on his Instagram account that he's in the legendary Bobby's Room at the Bellagio playing with other high-stakes poker pros with stakes going to the levels of $1,500/$3,000!
As poker fans are usually not allowed to take snapshots or take a video record of any high-stakes poker action going inside Bellagio's Bobby's Room, lucky for them that Gu[...] Read more » Brunson, Cates, Hansen and others recently in Bobby's Room playing High Stakes Poker

Wow..stakes on the levels of $1,500/$3,000! I would see them like Olimpo´s Gods! And when you have an outside looking they seem playing like you and me in NL2. Whats it´s will going on in these minds...I (and every poker´s player) would pay for know that. How they look for the opponent´s tells, how make their estrategy, how much adrenaline run for their body... really a paralel universe!

It is better for professional players not to be disturbed by fans. They play for a lot of money and fans starting filming and take pictures it disturbs their game. I'm happy for the Danish player Gus Hansen as he returned to high-stakes tables and i hope he will play for a long time here.
It's very nice of Gus Hansen that he had posted those photos of this room. I was always interested what's going on there behind the scenes in this legendary place. Now we have an opportunity to learn more of it.
Hi BRMers, $20,000 min buy-in equates to just 6.66 big blinds, I think you will be well under-funded if that is all you have got, probably $150,000 or 50 bigs would give you some game time and leverage otherwise you would be toast in minutes. 3p out

Very nice, the most I have played has been NL16, and there they are, playing 1500/3000 as if it were nothing.
I think people would not only pay to know what goes through the minds of those Pros, but also pay to just be there, watching. Amazing, 20.000 but-in, minimum

I would have loved to be able to have watched this and see these phenom's go at it. I can only imagine the amounts of money being gambled and the pots must have been huge
of course it's very steep bets ... 1500 and 3000 dollars .... such bets can only afford very rich people .. but here are very cool and well-known poker players so it's not very surprising .... but even for them it's very steep bets ..... I would like to see this game but unfortunately this is impossible

Those times are no longer because The Black Friday and after that The Pokerstars with Amaya Group have spoiled the good functioning of the games. It could come back good online gambling games but they have to do something. A good strategy...
Atleast dont let a poker player run the site,... Cus there was one that was a pokerplayer that made black friday,.. All the poker players were very angry at him,.. o well i think most players did get there money back at full til

well from the picture posted it looks like Hansen is just peeking at some juicy action, and has empty pockets so all that is left for his is to watch how other poker pros who still haven't lost their bankrolls are having some fun.

likeit27 this danish player Gus Hansen was not involved in the full tilt scandal and black friday. He lost a lot of money in full tilt, many millions but is a good player, professional and you confuse him with Chris Ferguson or Howard Lederer. They were involved there not Gus Hansen.

I would go to Bellagio on the weekend to play a $10 or $15 Blackjack back in the 2000s, but I didn't pay a visit to Bobby's Room. I wasn't a poker player at that time. US$20,000 minimum buy-in? That's too much for a casual poker player like myself.

then you have to put your hands on the strategy book about poker holdem. Maybe you will not get to play for many money like 20 k minim but for few hundred cash games is very good because this shows you've progressed from casual. You have to do this to hope for more money.
