Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player 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 paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best bettors in the world. While participating in net poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found wagering on internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
