Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve final table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While wagering on web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen frequently buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all in. I accept that Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be one of the best players in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amt.. I think tv can skew our perception of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players in the world might just be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be found betting on web poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money rounds?
