Internet High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the final 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 might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest players in the world. While betting on web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I know Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to sit at the game with the min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I think television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world may be guys you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money rounds?
