Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the last table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall 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. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best players in the world. While gambling on online poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. Gus often plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits for a good hand and then goes all-in. I believe Gus is a great poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.
Playing for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is supposed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The greatest poker players anywhere in the world could be guys you have never heard about. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in cash rounds?
