Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to make it to the final poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen 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 up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest bettors in the world. While participating in internet poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently plays in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen generally buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amount. I think television can skew our view of the real world at times. The greatest players anywhere in the world might be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
