Online Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve final table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers in the world. While competing in online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is 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 ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amount. I think television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in big stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
