Internet High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Posted in Poker on 01/31/2016 07:21 am by Felipe
Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the closing poker table in three of the events. 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 biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest players around the world. While competing in net poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I think television can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best players in the world might just be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be seen participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash rounds?
