Online Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to make it to the closing poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While gambling on net poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen more often than not buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amount. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world might just be players you have never heard about. Gus can be seen playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
