Net High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only participant to make it to the final game 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 may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest gamblers in the world. While competing in online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all in. I believe Gus is an outstanding 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 table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amt.. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The best players in the world could be players you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be seen wagering on online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
