Web Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?

Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the final game in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a large pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best players anywhere in the world. While playing web poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He often competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.

Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe tv can alter 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. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
