Web Big Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen

Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the final game in three of the tournaments. 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 big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest enthusiasts in the world. While gambling on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.

Buying in for the min takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is supposed to be one of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best poker players in the world may be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money games?

 

Caribbean Poker Regulations and Tricks

Internet poker has become world acclaimed as of late, with televised championships and celebrity poker game events. The games universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its TV scores. Over the years numerous variants on the earliest poker game have been created, including some games that are not really poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is 1 of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely related to vingt-et-un than old guard poker, in that the players wager against the casino rather than each other. The succeeding hands, are the established poker hands. There is no conniving or different kinds of bamboozlement. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to pay up just before the croupier declares "No more bets." At that instance, both you and the house and of course every one of the other players acquire 5 cards each. After you have seen your hand and the dealer’s initial card, you must in turn make a call bet or accede. The call bet’s value is akin to your original ante, which means that the stakes will have doubled. Bowing out means that your ante goes directly to the casino. After the bet is the conclusion. If the bank doesn’t have ace/king or greater, your wager is returned, including an amount on par with the original bet. If the house does have ace/king or greater, you win if your hand defeats the dealer’s hand. The house pony’s up chips equal to your bet and controlled expectations on your call wager. These odds are:

  • Even for a pair or high card
  • 2-1 for 2 pairs
  • 3-1 for 3 of a kind
  • four to one for a straight
  • five to one for a flush
  • 7-1 for a full house
  • twenty to one for a four of a kind
  • 50-1 for a straight flush
  • 100-1 for a royal flush
