Net Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen


Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the final poker table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best bettors in the world. While playing internet poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He often competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen more often than not buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all-in. I know Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.

Buying in for the min takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full dollar value. I think television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
