Net Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve final game in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He won a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest gamblers around the world. While wagering on net poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the game 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 greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be seen competing in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
