Online High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a large pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While gambling on online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He frequently plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amount. I think television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be seen betting on web poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in money games?
