Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the last poker table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While playing online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amount. I believe television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be seen wagering on net poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in high stakes omaha hold’em and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in cash games?

Omaha Hi-Lo (also known as Omaha/8 or better) is commonly viewed as one of the most complicated but well-loved poker variations. It is a variation that, even more than regular Omaha poker, aims for action from all levels of players. This is the chief reason why a once obscure game, has grown in acceptance so quickly.
Omaha 8 or better begins just like a normal game of Omaha. Four cards are given out to each player. A round of wagering ensues where gamblers can bet, check, or drop out. 3 cards are dealt out, this is called the flop. A further sequence of betting happens. After all the gamblers have either called or dropped out, another card is revealed on the turn. an additional sequence of wagering happens and then the river card is flipped. The gamblers will need to make the best high and low five card hands based on the board and hole cards.
This is the point where a few entrants often get confused. Unlike Texas Holdem, in which the board can make up every player’s hand, in Omaha hi low the player must use precisely 3 cards on the board, and exactly 2 hole cards. Not a single card more, no less. Contrary to normal Omaha, there are two ways a pot can be won: the "high hand" or the "lower hand."
A high hand is exactly what it sounds like. It is the best hand out of everyone’s, regardless if it is a straight, flush, full house. It’s the very same notion in just about every poker game.
A low hand is more complicated, but really free’s up the action. When determining a low hand, straights and flushes don’t count. the lowest hand is the weakest hand that can be put together, with the lowest being made up of A-2-3-4-5. Seeing as straights and flushes do not count, A-2-3-4-5 is the worst possible hand. The lower hand is any five card hand (unpaired) with an eight and lower. The lower hand wins half of the pot, as just like the high hand. When there is no lower hand presented, the high hand takes the whole pot.
Although it seems complex at the start, following a couple of hands you will be able to get the basic nuances of the game with ease. Seeing as you have individuals betting for the low and betting for the high, and since so many cards are being used at once, Omaha/8 provides an exciting assortment of wagering options and because you have several players battling for the high hand, as well as a few trying for the low hand. If you love a game with all kinds of outs and actions, it’s worth your time to compete in Omaha hi-low.
