Internet Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the final table in three 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 recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest enthusiasts around the world. While gambling on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He frequently participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all-in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to settle at the game 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 best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found wagering on online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in money games?
