Internet Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve closing game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He won a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest bettors in the world. While gambling on online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best poker players in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in big stakes omaha/8 and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
