Web High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the final poker table in three of the events. 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 big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While gambling on internet poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually 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 believe Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full dollar value. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found playing online poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes omaha hi-low and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
