Online High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve last table in three of the events. 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 biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While gambling on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly plays in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I think tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The best poker players in the world might just be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash rounds?
