Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve final game in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen won a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest bettors in the world. While gambling on internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I know Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players anywhere in the world could be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found playing online poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in high stakes omaha/8 and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash rounds?
