Internet Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen

[ English ]

Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve final poker table 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 may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He won a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest gamblers in the world. While wagering on internet poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy in.

Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world might be players you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in big stakes omaha/8 and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in cash games?
