Online Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only participant to make it to the final table in three of the competitions. 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 competing against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest bettors anywhere in the world. While playing web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I know Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I think television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world may be guys you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes Omaha and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
