Online High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve closing poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best gamblers in the world. While playing internet poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amount. I think television can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be found competing in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money rounds?
