Net High Stakes Poker- Who is Gus Hansen?
by Ali on Friday, December 4th, 2015
Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve final table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He won a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best players anywhere in the world. While participating in internet poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He often participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen more often than not buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be one of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amount. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world could be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in cash games?

Before you Tilt
by Ali on Thursday, November 19th, 2015
Ah, the steam. If a poker gambler claims at no time to have peered down the shadow of a looming poker steam – they’re either lying or they haven’t been wagering very long. This doesn’t indicate of course that each and every one has been on tilt in the past, a handful of players have great control and take their squanderings as a defeat and leave it at that. To be a good poker player, it’s especially critical to treat your wins and your defeats in the same way – with no emotion. You participate in the game in the same manner you did after taking a difficult beat as you would after winning a great hand. Many of the poker pros are not charmed by tilting following a horrible loss as they are highly accomplished and you really should be to.
You need to be aware that you cannot win every hand you’re in, even if you are the front runner. Hands that normally make players to go on tilt are hands that you were the favorite or at least thought you were up until you were rivered and you lost a huge chunk of your bankroll. Awful defeats are going to happen. Accept that idea right now, I will say it once more – if your siblings enjoy cards, if your parents play cards, if your grandpa enjoys cards – They have all had poor beats sometime. It is an inevitable outcome of competing in Hold’em, or in reality any type of poker.
Seeing as we are assumingly (most of us) playing poker for one purpose – to make cash, it certainly makes sense that we would bet accordingly to maximize our profit potential. Now let’s say you are up $100 off of a $100 deposit, and you suffer a big hit in a No Limits game and your stack is at $120. You’ve burned eighty dollars in a round where you were assured to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and held a ten to one edge. And that amateur! He bled you dry on the river? – Well stop right there. This is a quintessential opportunity for a brand-new gambler to start tilting. They really just blew too much $$$$ on one round that they should have won and they’re angry
