Online High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve final poker table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest bettors in the world. While betting on web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes almost all of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be seen participating in net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in big stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money rounds?
