Web Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the closing poker table in three of the events. 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 high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best players anywhere in the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He often competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world at times. The best players anywhere in the world might be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
