Web Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?

Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing game in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest players around the world. While wagering on online poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the min buy-in.

Playing for the min takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best players in the world might be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found playing net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha hi-low and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money games?
