Web High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve last table in three of the events. 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 big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest bettors around the world. While wagering on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He frequently 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 waits for a good hand and then goes all in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the expertise 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 perception of the real world at times. The greatest players in the world might just be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
