Online High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only participant to achieve last table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While participating in net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He often plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the min buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amount. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world may be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be found wagering on internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money rounds?
