Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve last poker table in three of the events. 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 high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While gambling on web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best players in the world might be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be seen betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
