Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While participating in web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I know Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen playing internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha/8 and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
