Web High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing poker table in 3 of the tournaments. 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 recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest gamblers around the world. While wagering on internet poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in high stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
