Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve closing 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 high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. He won a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest enthusiasts around the world. While betting on internet poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He often plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amt.. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world at times. The greatest players in the world may be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be found gambling on net poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
