Web High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the closing game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest bettors around the world. While gambling on online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He frequently plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players in the world might just be players you have never heard of. Gus can be seen playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in high stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
