Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve closing poker table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the strongest bettors around the world. While playing web poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He often plays in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I know Gus is an excellent 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 play at the game with the min buy in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I think television can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best players anywhere in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He normally plays in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in money games?
