Net High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve final game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While betting on online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the best players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amount. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be seen playing online poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in big stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
