Net Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the last 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 remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While competing in internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe television can skew our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found gambling on net poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money games?
