Online Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the closing game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared 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 high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a massive 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 gamblers around the world. While gambling on online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found betting on web poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
