Gus Hansen experienced a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve last game in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history competing against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest players in the world. While participating in online poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. Gus regularly competes in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of $40, 000. Gus generally buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is an outstanding poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is penniless, he has no reason to sit at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the min takes a majority of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Gus is supposed to be 1 of the best players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I believe tv can skew our perception of the real world sometimes. The greatest poker players in the world might be guys you have will not have heard about. Gus can be found betting on web poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in high stakes omaha hold’em and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
