Web High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only participant to make it to the last 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 recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest bettors anywhere in the world. While competing in net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amt.. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players in the world may be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen playing web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in big stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money games?
