Web High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve closing poker table in three of the competitions. 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 against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best gamblers anywhere in the world. While participating in net poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally 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 know Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has little or no reason to play at the game with the min buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total dollar value. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world might be players you have never heard of before. Gus can be seen competing in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in high stakes omaha hold’em and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
