Internet Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the final table in three of the tournaments. 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 recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest enthusiasts around the world. While competing in net poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amount. I believe television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money games?
