Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the final poker table in three of the competitions. 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 big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a huge pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest bettors in the world. While competing in web poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I believe Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I think television can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world might be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be seen gambling on internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money rounds?
