Internet High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve final game in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest players anywhere in the world. While gambling on web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I believe television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world might just be guys you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be seen betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money games?
