Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to make it to the last table 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 may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest gamblers anywhere in the world. While wagering on online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently 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 know Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world may be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in high stakes omaha hold’em and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
