Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to achieve last poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest enthusiasts around the world. While participating in web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen generally buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our view of the real world at times. The best poker players in the world might be players you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found betting on net poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in cash rounds?
