Internet poker has become world famous as of late, with televised competitions and celebrity poker game shows. Its universal appeal, though, arcs back in reality a bit further than its television scores. Over the years several types on the original poker game have been developed, including a few games that are not in fact poker anymore. Caribbean stud poker is one of the above-mentioned games. Despite the name, Caribbean stud poker is more closely resembling vingt-et-un than long-standing poker, in that the players bet against the casino rather than the other players. The succeeding hands, are the traditional poker hands. There is no concealment or different kinds of deceptiveness. In Caribbean stud poker, you are required to ante up just before the croupier declares "No further wagers." At that point, both you and the casino and of course every one of the other gamblers are given 5 cards. After you have looked at your hand and the bank’s initial card, you have to either make a call bet or surrender. The call wager’s amount is on same level to your beginning ante, which means that the risks will have increased two fold. Bowing out means that your ante goes immediately to the house. After the bet comes the face off. If the dealer does not have ace/king or better, your bet is given back, with an amount on par with the initial bet. If the bank does have ace/king or better, you win if your hand beats the casino’s hand. The casino pays cash even with your initial bet and fixed odds on your call bet. These odds are:

• Equal for a pair or high card
• 2-1 for 2 pairs
• 3-1 for three of a kind
• 4-1 for a straight
• 5-1 for a flush
• seven to one for a full house
• twenty to one for a four of a kind
• 50-1 for a straight flush
• one hundred to one for a royal flush

Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the closing game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While participating in internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.

Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in big stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
