Gus Hansen enjoyed a marvelous year on the WPT where he was the only participant to achieve last table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You might recall one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history competing against Daniel Negreanu. Gus raked in a big pot with quads against Daniel’s full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is thought to be one of the greatest bettors in the world. While competing in net poker, another side of Hansen has been seen. Gus regularly plays in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Gus generally buys-in for the minimum of $16, 000 and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then pushes all in. I believe Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400no limit. Unless Gus is penniless, he has no reason to sit at the table with the min buy in.
Buying in for the min takes almost all of the skill out of big stack poker. Hansen is accepted to be 1 of the best poker players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy in for the total amount. I believe television can alter our perception of the real world sometimes. The best poker players in the world could be guys you have will not have heard of before. Gus can be found wagering on internet poker on Full Tilt. He generally participates in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas holdem. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in money rounds?
