Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve last poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While wagering on web poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I believe television can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players in the world could be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in cash rounds?
