Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only one to make it to the final table in three of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While playing internet poker, another side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Hansen is a great 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 minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is presumed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the full amt.. I think tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The greatest players in the world might just be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be seen betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He usually competes in high stakes omaha/8 and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in money games?
