Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to make it to the last game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest gamblers anywhere in the world. While gambling on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally 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 accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world may be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found playing web poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha/8 and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash rounds?
