Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only participant to achieve closing table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared 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 won a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world. While participating in net poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world at times. The greatest players in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
