Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the closing game in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest gamblers in the world. While participating in internet poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The best players in the world might just be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be found wagering on net poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha hi-low and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
