Online High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve last poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While betting on online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total dollar value. I think television can skew our perception of the real world at times. The greatest players in the world might just be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen gambling on net poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
