Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve last game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest enthusiasts around the world. While participating in internet poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He often plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world might be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in big stakes Omaha and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in money rounds?
