Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the final poker table in 3 of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a large pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest gamblers around the world. While gambling on net poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often participates in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen usually buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all in. I believe Hansen is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to settle at the game with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be one of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world at times. The best players in the world might just be players you have never heard of before. Gus can be found wagering on web poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in big stakes omaha high and Holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
