Online High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only participant to achieve closing game in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a large pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best enthusiasts in the world. While wagering on web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He often participates in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but 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 table with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amount. I think television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in cash games?
