Web High 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 closing game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a big 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 strongest bettors around the world. While gambling on web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He often plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I think tv can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in big stakes omaha hold’em and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
