Net High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve last game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest bettors anywhere in the world. While competing in internet poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He often plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all in. I know Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amount. I think tv can skew our view of the real world at times. The greatest players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen wagering on online poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha/8 and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
