Net High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen

Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the final poker table in 3 of the events. 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 recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest gamblers anywhere in the world. While gambling on web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the min buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is supposed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amount. I think television can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be found playing online poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
