Net High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the closing poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest enthusiasts in the world. While wagering on online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I know Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in high stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
