Net High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the last poker table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While wagering on online poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a decent 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 bankrupt, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is supposed to be one of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world at times. The greatest players anywhere in the world may be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found betting on web poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in high stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in cash games?
