Net High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve last game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a large pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world. While wagering on web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to sit at the game with the minimum 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 best poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
