Gus Hansen enjoyed a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve last poker table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He won a large pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best enthusiasts in the world. While betting on online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He often plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes almost all of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full dollar value. I think tv can alter our perception of the real world at times. The greatest players anywhere in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard about. Gus can be seen gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
