Web Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve last 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 history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While gambling on online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amount. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world might just be players you have never heard of. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in money games?
