Online Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the final table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best players in the world. While wagering on online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I believe Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amount. I believe television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found wagering on internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in high stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
