Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only participant to achieve final poker table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest enthusiasts in the world. While playing net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amount. I think television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be seen betting on web poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in cash games?

Pai Gow Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the eastern with the western in an awesome game for starting players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the dealer, unlike most other poker games that players play with other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, beginning players don’t need to worry about other, more advanced gamblers winning their $$$$.

An additional Pai Gow edge is the generally leisurely game play, beginners should be able to take their time and plan while not having to make frenzied decisions.

It is also easier to gamble on for an extended time with just a tiny amount of cash after all, to lose, each of your hands needs to be under both of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards faces showing and the dealer receives 7 cards faces hidden.

A 5 card hand and one two card hand must be put together from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand has to be better than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be higher than the casino’s.
