Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the last 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 might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He won a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest enthusiasts in the world. While playing web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Hansen more often than not buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amount. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in money games?
