Online High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen

Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the final game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest players in the world. While wagering on net poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best players in the world might just be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be seen playing online poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
