Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve closing game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a huge pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest players in the world. While gambling on internet poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus frequently plays in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a good hand and then goes all-in. I know Hansen is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has absolutely no reason to play at the table with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be one of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I believe television can skew our view of the real world sometimes. The best players in the world might just be players you have never heard of. Gus can be found participating in online poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha hold’em and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in cash games?
