Online Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve last poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While wagering on online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I know Hansen is an outstanding 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 min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world may be guys you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes Omaha and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
