Online Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the last table in three of the events. 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 big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest gamblers in the world. While competing in internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has little or no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I think television can alter our perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha hi-low and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
