Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the final game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest bettors around the world. While betting on online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to play at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players in the world but he can’t buy in for the total dollar value. I think tv can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might just be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen playing online poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in big stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash games?
