Online High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to make it to the closing poker table 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 might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest bettors anywhere in the world. While participating in net poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be one of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amount. I think tv can skew our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world might just be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be found gambling on online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha/8 and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money games?
