Net Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only participant to make it to the last game in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest bettors in the world. While playing net poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amount. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
