Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve final 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 largest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best bettors around the world. While competing in web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all in. I believe Hansen is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amount. I believe television can alter 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 found gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in big stakes omaha hold’em and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in cash rounds?
