Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the last game in 3 of the competitions. 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 largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best gamblers anywhere in the world. While playing web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I believe Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I think television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world may be guys you have never heard of. Gus can be found participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in high stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in money games?
