Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the last game in 3 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 remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best players in the world. While gambling on online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He frequently plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I think television can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world may be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
