Online Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the final game in three 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 may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large 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 strongest players anywhere in the world. While playing internet poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen more often than not buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total dollar value. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found playing net poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
