Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve closing game in three of the events. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest enthusiasts in the world. While wagering on web poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but certainly not even close to the everyday players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is broke, he has no reason to settle at the game with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the min takes most of the ability out of deep stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he can’t buy-in for the total amt.. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best players anywhere in the world could be guys you have will not have heard of. Gus can be seen gambling on web poker on Full Tilt. He normally competes in high stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his talents in money games?
