Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the closing poker table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest enthusiasts in the world. While competing in online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world may be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen competing in net poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha/8 and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
