Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve closing game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While participating in web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to settle at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his abilities in money rounds?
