Gus Hansen experienced a wonderful year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to achieve last game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best gamblers in the world. While betting on net poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently competes in the 200/400 No Limit max buy in of $40, 000. Gus 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 goes all in. I accept that Gus is an amazing poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless he is penniless, he has no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full dollar value. I think television can alter our view of the real world at times. The greatest players anywhere in the world may be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found participating in web poker on Full Tilt. He usually plays in high stakes omaha/8 and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his skills in cash rounds?
