Net Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve last table in three of the events. 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 largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world. While wagering on web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He often plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I think television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be seen wagering on internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in high stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
