Internet Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen

Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve last table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest bettors in the world. While participating in online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He often competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.

Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best players in the world might be players you have never heard of. Gus can be found competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash rounds?
