Gus Hansen had a wonderful year on the WPT where he was the only player to make it to the closing poker table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network 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. He secured a huge pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the best gamblers around the world. While participating in net poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He waits for a decent hand and then goes all in. I accept that Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the table with the min buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes almost all of the skill out of deep stack poker. Gus is assumed to be 1 of the best poker players in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our view of the real world at times. The best poker players in the world might just be players you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found playing web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in high stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his talents in cash games?
