Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only participant to make it to the last poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the greatest enthusiasts in the world. While competing in internet poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best poker players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in cash games?
