Web Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the closing poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best bettors around the world. While betting on web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total dollar value. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be seen wagering on web poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
