Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the final game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared 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 history up against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a huge 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 players anywhere in the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world may be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be seen wagering on online poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in high stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
