Online Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the last table in 3 of the competitions. 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 biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest gamblers anywhere in the world. While competing in web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total dollar value. I believe television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best poker players in the world might just be guys you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found betting on net poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money rounds?
