Net High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve final table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest enthusiasts in the world. While wagering on internet poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in high stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in money games?
