Web Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the final table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest gamblers around the world. While playing web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I think tv can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world may be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha/8 and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
