Internet High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the last table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN 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 raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best players in the world. While participating in web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the min buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amount. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best players anywhere in the world might be players you have never heard about. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha hold’em and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money games?
