Net Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve last table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He won a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest bettors around the world. While participating in online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly plays in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amount. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world could be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be seen playing online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
