Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the final game in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers anywhere in the world. While wagering on web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He frequently plays in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in big stakes omaha/8 and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in cash rounds?
