Online Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve closing poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest players in the world. While gambling on net poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total dollar value. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest players in the world could be guys you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha/8 and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in cash rounds?
