Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the last poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best gamblers in the world. While competing in online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I think television can alter our view of the real world at times. The best poker players in the world could be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be seen playing online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his skills in cash rounds?
