Internet High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the final game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best enthusiasts in the world. While gambling on web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I know Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players in the world may be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in high stakes omaha/8 and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
