Web Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the last game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best players around the world. While betting on online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all in. I believe Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in cash games?
