Posted in Poker on 02/12/2020 12:25 pm by Caylee
Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve final game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He won a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest players anywhere in the world. While playing web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus more often than not buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total dollar value. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world at times. The best poker players in the world could be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen gambling on net poker on Full Tilt. He generally plays in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money rounds?
