Net Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only participant to make it to the closing poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest enthusiasts around the world. While competing in net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best players in the world could be players you have never heard of. Gus can be found betting on net poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money games?
