Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to make it to the last game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best gamblers anywhere in the world. While betting on online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the full dollar value. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world may be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be seen wagering on internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha eight-or-better and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money games?
