Web High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only participant to make it to the last table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He won a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best players around the world. While participating in internet poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all in. I know Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total dollar value. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The best poker players in the world might be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen participating in net poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
