Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve last game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest players in the world. While gambling on web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He often plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the min buy in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is supposed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amount. I think tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world might be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be seen competing in internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
