Net High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to make it to the final game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a large pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest bettors in the world. While wagering on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL max buy in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I know Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found playing net poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money rounds?
