Web Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve final table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best bettors in the world. While gambling on web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amount. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The best players in the world might be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
