Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the last poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus won a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best bettors in the world. While wagering on online poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. He regularly participates in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Hansen frequently buys in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He sits there waiting for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I believe Hansen is a great poker player but not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to settle at the table with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority 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 full amt.. I believe television can skew our perception of the real world at times. The best players anywhere in the world might just be guys you have never heard of before. Gus can be seen participating in internet poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha high and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money games?
