Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only participant to make it to the last poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest players around the world. While gambling on online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen more often than not buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all in. I know Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has little or no reason to sit at the game with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amount. I believe television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best poker players in the world may be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money rounds?
