Online Big Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?

Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve final game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest enthusiasts around the world. While playing online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.

Playing for the min takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I think television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best poker players in the world could be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen playing web poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
