Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve closing poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest enthusiasts in the world. While wagering on online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys-in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.
Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the full amount. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest players in the world may be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in high stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in cash games?
