Net High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve last poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world. While wagering on online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I know Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amt.. I think television can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found competing in online poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
