Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve final game in three 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 recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest bettors anywhere in the world. While wagering on online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.

Buying in for the min takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I think tv can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world may be guys you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found wagering on web poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in big stakes omaha/8 and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?

Ah, the poker steam. If a poker player claims at no time to have stared faced over the shadow of an approaching poker tilt – they are either lying or they have not been betting for a long time. This does not indicate of course that each and every one has gone on tilt before, a number of players have excellent control and take their losses as a hit and leave it at that. To be a powerful poker gambler, it’s very important to treat your successes and your losses in an identical way – with no emotion. You play the game in the same manner you did following a hard loss as you would after winning a great hand. Most of the poker pros are not enticed by tilting after a horrible beat as they are very seasoned and you must be to.

You need to be aware that you won’t win each and every hand you are in, even if you are strongly favored. Hands that commonly cause people go on tilt are hands that you were the favored or at least believed you were up until you were rivered and you burned a huge portion of your stack. Bad defeats are bound to happen. Accept that idea right now, I will say it once again – if your sister enjoys cards, if your father plays cards, if your grandma plays cards – They have all had poor defeats at some point. It is an inevitable effect of participating in Texas Hold’em, or in reality any kind of poker.

Since we are assumingly (most of us) playing poker for one reason – to make a profit, it certainly makes sense that we would gamble appropriately to maximize winnings. Now let’s say you are up one hundred dollars off of a $100 deposit, and you take a gigantic hit in a NL game and your bankroll is at $120. You’ve lost $80 in a round where you were certain to pick up $200two hundred dollars when you decided to go all-in on the flop and held a 10 – 1 advantage. And that fiend! He sucked you out on the river? – Well hold it right here. This is a quintessential opportunity for a brand-new bettor to begin tilting. They basically blew too much money on one hand that they should have won and they’re pissed
