• Internet Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen

    Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the final poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest bettors around the world. While playing internet 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 gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I know Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.

    Buying in for the minimum takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be seen gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in big stakes omaha/8 and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
