Net High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to make it to the closing 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 biggest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He won a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best enthusiasts around the world. While wagering on web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total dollar value. I think television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money rounds?
