Online High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve last game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world. While gambling on online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is supposed to be one of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I think television can skew our perception of the real world at times. The best poker players anywhere in the world might be players you have never heard of. Gus can be seen playing online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
