Internet Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the closing table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While betting on online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He often competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The best players in the world might just be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found competing in net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes omaha hi-low and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money games?
