Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the final game in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a massive pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best bettors in the world. While wagering on web poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus often plays in the 200/400 NL max buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all in. I know Hansen is an amazing poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy in for the full amount. I think television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world might just be players you have will not have heard about. Gus can be seen competing in online poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in big stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash rounds?
