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 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 may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest bettors in the world. While competing in web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.

Buying in for the min takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amount. I think tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest players anywhere in the world could be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash games?
