Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the final game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He won a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest players in the world. While playing online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to settle at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best players anywhere 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 players you have never heard about. Gus can be seen participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in big stakes omaha hi-low and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash rounds?
