Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve final table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. He raked in a big pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has earned many televised poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the strongest bettors around the world. While playing web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often plays in the 200/400 No Limit max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus usually buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all in. I believe Gus is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the skill out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I believe tv can alter our view of the real world sometimes. The best players anywhere in the world could be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes Omaha and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in money games?
