Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve final poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best enthusiasts around the world. While playing internet poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen more often than not buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I think television can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The best poker players anywhere in the world could be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found gambling on net poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in big stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money games?
