Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve last table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest bettors in the world. While betting on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I know Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world at times. The best players anywhere in the world might be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen wagering on net poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in big stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash rounds?
