Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to achieve last table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker recorded history against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a massive pot with 4 of a kind against Daniel’s full house. Hansen has made many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the best enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While gambling on net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He often plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Hansen more often than not buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak. 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 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has no reason to sit at the game with the minimum buy-in.
Buying in for the minimum takes a majority of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be 1 of the greatest poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total dollar value. I believe tv can skew our view of the real world every now and then. The best poker players anywhere in the world may be players you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen playing online poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes omaha high and texas hold’em. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he back up his abilities in money rounds?
