Net Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve closing table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest bettors around the world. While betting on online poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He often plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amount. I think television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world could be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be seen participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in cash games?
