Online High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the last table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest enthusiasts in the world. While wagering on web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He often participates in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I know Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amt.. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world might be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha/8 and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money games?
