Web Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best bettors in the world. While participating in web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players in the world might be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
