Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve final game 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 high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest players in the world. While playing online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is an amazing poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has no reason to play at the game with the min buy in.
Playing for the min takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the total amt.. I think tv can skew our perception of the real world at times. The greatest players in the world might just be guys you have won’t have heard of before. Gus can be found competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in high stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
