Web High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve final game in three of the events. 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 recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest gamblers around the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the greatest players 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 best players in the world may be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes omaha hi-low and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
