Gus Hansen Taught A Lesson on Poker Playing
March 1, 2009
We have all done it, sat and watched the professionals play on Full Tilt Poker.
One internet poker player took that watching further, stumping up the cash to enter into a head to head with Gus Hansen on ‘Pot Limit’ Omaha table with blinds of $500/$1000.
Haseeb Queshi, AKA ‘Internet Pokers’, sat at the table and butted horns with one of the best known poker players at the present time.
As the two played they managed to offer 13 of the biggest pots on the site with 11 of them taking the top 11 places in the list of 25 accounted.
Hansen is a known gambler and is no stranger to ‘testing the waters’ with high level bets, most games meaning you are going to either win or lose well into the $100,000′s, as long as you can bankroll the game.
Many players feel blessed just sitting on the table while Hansen does his thing, but Queshi took that a whole lot further.
By the end of the battle between the professional and the internet player, Hansen had lost almost $300,000.
Just goes to show that even sometimes professionals make rash calls and the cards don’t always fall to the ‘best’ player.
We at thatsGambling would like to congratulate ‘INTERNET POKERS’ on his success.
