Net Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest bettors in the world. While playing online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I think tv can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be seen wagering on online poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in high stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
