Web High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the closing game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While wagering on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly participates in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I believe Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe television 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 betting on web poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in big stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
