Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve closing table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best bettors around the world. While competing in web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes 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 broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players in the world could be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be seen gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in money rounds?
