Web High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve final table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While gambling on online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I believe television can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be found competing in online poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes Omaha and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
