Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve final table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers anywhere in the world. While wagering on net poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the ability out of big stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the greatest 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 every now and then. The greatest players anywhere in the world may be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found betting on online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha high and hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
