Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve final game in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest bettors anywhere in the world. While participating in online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all in. I believe Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the min buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world at times. The greatest poker players in the world might be players you have never heard of. Gus can be seen participating in net poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes Omaha and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
