Internet High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve closing game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best players around the world. While gambling on web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world could be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found playing web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
