Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only one to achieve closing poker table in 3 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 recall one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. Hansen raked in a massive pot with quads against Negreanu’s full house. Gus has made many televised poker appearances and is thought to be one of the strongest bettors anywhere in the world. While participating in online poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. Gus often competes in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy-in of Forty Thousand dollars. Hansen usually buys-in for the min of $16, 000 and gambles very weak. He waits patiently for a decent hand and then pushes all-in. I know Gus is a great poker player but certainly not even close to the familiar players at 200/400NL. Unless he is flat broke, he has absolutely no reason to settle at the table with the minimum buy-in.
Playing for the min takes almost all of the expertise out of big stack poker. Gus is accepted to be 1 of the greatest players in the world but he cannot buy-in for the full amt.. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world at times. The best poker players anywhere in the world might be players you have will not have heard of. Gus can be found betting on internet poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold’em. Gus has proven himself as a tournament player. Can he back up his abilities in cash rounds?
