Net High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the last game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest gamblers anywhere in the world. While competing in web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full dollar value. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world may be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha/8 and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
