Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to make it to the final 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 history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest gamblers anywhere in the world. While participating in web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I think tv can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players in the world might just be guys you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes Omaha and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
