Internet High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve last table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He won a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest gamblers anywhere in the world. While competing in web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently participates in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amount. I think tv can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world could be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found wagering on internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in high stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in money rounds?
