Internet Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve closing table in 3 of the competitions. 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 big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While participating in web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total dollar value. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world at times. The greatest players in the world might be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money games?
