Gus Hansen had a marvelous year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only participant to achieve last game in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has appeared on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You might remember one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest bettors anywhere in the world. While competing in net poker, a different side of Hansen has been seen. He often competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus usually buys in for the min of $16, 000 and plays very weak. He waits patiently for a good hand and then pushes all-in. I accept that Hansen is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400no limit. Unless he is broke, he has absolutely no reason to sit at the game with the min buy in.
Buying in for the minimum takes most of the skill out of big stack poker. Gus is assumed to be one of the best players 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 poker players in the world might be guys you have won’t have heard of. Gus can be seen competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He generally competes in big stakes Omaha and texas hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he use his skills in cash rounds?
