Online Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the final poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best bettors in the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amount. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players in the world could be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in cash rounds?
