Net Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve closing game in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest bettors around the world. While wagering on internet poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles 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 he is penniless, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in high stakes Omaha and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in cash rounds?
