Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the closing poker table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest players anywhere in the world. While betting on web poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all-in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amount. I think television can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world may be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in big stakes Omaha and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
