Web Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the final game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest players in the world. While competing in internet poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He often plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all in. I believe Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha hi-low and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money rounds?
