Online High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant 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 might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest gamblers anywhere in the world. While gambling on online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I know Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total dollar value. I think tv can skew our perception of the real world at times. The best poker players in the world might be players you have never heard of. Gus can be found competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in big stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
