Online Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the last table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest players around the world. While participating in net poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the best players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total dollar value. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in high stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money rounds?
