Net High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve final 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 remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While competing in online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all in. I know Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be one of the best players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found participating in net poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
