Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the last table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest gamblers anywhere in the world. While gambling on internet poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I know Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amount. I think television can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have never heard of. Gus can be seen betting on net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash games?
