Net High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Tuesday, 1. September 2015
Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the last game in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest bettors around the world. While betting on online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He sits there waiting 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 regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe television can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world might be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found gambling on net poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in high stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
