Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve final 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 recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest gamblers anywhere in the world. While playing online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all in. I know Hansen is an excellent 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 game with the min buy in.
Playing for the min takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be one of the best poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amount. I think tv can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The best players in the world might be players you have never heard of before. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
