Web Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen
Wednesday, 16. August 2017
Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve final game in 3 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 recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He won a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best enthusiasts in the world. While participating in web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He often competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally 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 Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I think television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best poker players in the world may be guys you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen wagering on web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly plays in high stakes omaha/8 and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash games?
