Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to achieve closing game in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen secured a large pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best enthusiasts around the world. While wagering on internet poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He regularly participates in the 200/400 NL max buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen more often than not buys in for the min of Sixteen Thousand dollars and plays very poorly. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then goes all-in. I know Gus is an excellent poker player but not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is bankrupt, he has no reason to play at the table with the minimum buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes almost all of the expertise out of deep stack poker. Hansen is assumed to be 1 of the best players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I think tv can alter our view of the real world every now and then. The best players in the world might just be players you have never heard of. Gus can be seen participating in net poker on Full Tilt. He commonly participates in high stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
