Online High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve closing table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He secured 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 strongest players anywhere in the world. While playing online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He often plays in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I know Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I believe television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best players in the world might be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be seen competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money games?
